Winslow, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Winslow's 219 buildings earn a 8th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Winslow's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 8th percentile nationally.
Winslow's building exposure, zone by zone
Winslow rates 63.5% Minimal exposure against just 36.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 219 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Winslow compares
Within Illinois, Winslow ranks higher (37th percentile) than it does nationally (8th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Winslow ranks 29,023 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,153 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 908 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Winslow
Winslow's low rating (8th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 63.5% of Winslow outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Winslow's 8th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Winslow, see the exposure-zones guide.
