East Millstone, NJ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, East Millstone lands at the 33rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 348 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts East Millstone at the 34th percentile, close to its 33rd-percentile risk score.
East Millstone's building exposure, zone by zone
Of East Millstone's 348 counted buildings, 70.1% carry Direct exposure and only 8.1% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
