Windsor (Mercer), IL
Windsor (Mercer), IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Windsor (Mercer) sits at the 6th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 502 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Windsor (Mercer) at the 6th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Windsor (Mercer)'s buildings actually sit
Most of Windsor (Mercer)'s buildings (91.2% of 502) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
