East Vineland, NJ
How exposed is East Vineland to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts East Vineland at the 74th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 748 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks East Vineland at the 72nd national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where East Vineland's buildings actually sit
Of East Vineland's 748 counted buildings, 72.7% carry Direct exposure and only 9.4% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where East Vineland ranks
There's little gap between East Vineland's 74th national percentile and its 82nd percentile inside New Jersey, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, East Vineland ranks 8,358 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,142 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 129 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
East Vineland and the insurance market
At the 74th percentile nationally, East Vineland carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in East Vineland (72.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
