Bradley Gardens, NJ
Bradley Gardens, NJ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Bradley Gardens at the 26th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 3,683 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bradley Gardens at the 26th percentile, close to its 26th-percentile risk score.
Where Bradley Gardens's buildings actually sit
Only 35.5% of Bradley Gardens's 3,683 buildings carry Direct exposure and 17.4% carry Indirect; the remaining 47.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
