Yorkville, IL
Yorkville, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Yorkville at the 14th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 6,809 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Yorkville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
Where Yorkville's buildings actually sit
Yorkville rates 83.2% Minimal exposure against just 16.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 6,809 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 6,809 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Yorkville ranks
Yorkville's 50th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 14th 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, Yorkville ranks 27,224 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,539 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 718 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Yorkville
Yorkville's low wildfire rating (14th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 83.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Yorkville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
