Connecticut Farms, NJ
How exposed is Connecticut Farms to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Connecticut Farms at the 25th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 187 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Connecticut Farms at the 28th national percentile — 3 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
Only 2.7% of Connecticut Farms's 187 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 97.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Connecticut Farms ranks
Connecticut Farms scores 25th nationally and 15th within New Jersey — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Connecticut Farms ranks 23,800 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,356 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 597 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 25th national percentile, Connecticut Farms rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Connecticut Farms's 97.3% 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.
