Flemington, NJ
Flemington wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Flemington at the 22nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,402 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 Flemington at the 22nd percentile, close to its 22nd-percentile risk score.
Flemington's building exposure, zone by zone
Flemington rates 43.4% Minimal exposure against just 16.8% Direct and 39.9% Indirect — of 1,402 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Flemington ranks
There's little gap between Flemington's 22nd national percentile and its 9th 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, Flemington ranks 24,489 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,621 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 639 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Flemington
At the 22nd national percentile, Flemington 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
Even with 43.4% of Flemington outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Flemington's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Flemington's 24,489-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Flemington's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
