Woodland, IL
Woodland, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Woodland sits at the 7th 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 218 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Woodland at the 7th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Woodland: 53.7% of its 218 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 46.3% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Woodland ranks
Woodland's 35th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 7th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodland ranks 29,241 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,193 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 934 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Woodland
At the 7th national percentile, Woodland 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
Woodland's 53.7% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
