Glendora, NJ
Glendora, NJ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Glendora sits at the 49th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,827 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Glendora at the 51st national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Glendora's building exposure, zone by zone
88.5% of Glendora's 1,827 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 11.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Glendora against the rest of the country
Glendora's risk sits at a similar level relative to New Jersey (55th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (49th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glendora ranks 16,140 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,990 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 314 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Glendora and the insurance market
Glendora's elevated wildfire rating (49th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Glendora
Glendora's 88.5% 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.
