Woodhull, IL
Woodhull, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Woodhull sits at the 2nd 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 562 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Woodhull at the 2nd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
95.2% of Woodhull's 562 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 4.8% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Woodhull ranks
Woodhull's risk sits at a similar level relative to Illinois (12th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (2nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodhull ranks 31,037 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,371 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,271 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Woodhull and the insurance market
At the 2nd national percentile, Woodhull rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Woodhull's 95.2% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
