Green Village, NJ
How exposed is Green Village to wildfire?
USFS scores Green Village at the 34th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 382 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 Green Village at the 35th percentile, close to its 34th-percentile risk score.
Where Green Village's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Green Village: 88% of its 382 buildings, versus 12% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Green Village (88%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Green Village's figures come from
Green Village's 34th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Green Village's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
