Johnsonburg, NJ
Johnsonburg, NJ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Johnsonburg lands at the 43rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 201 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Johnsonburg's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 45th percentile nationally.
Johnsonburg's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Johnsonburg's 201 counted buildings, 100% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Johnsonburg against the rest of the country
Johnsonburg's risk sits at a similar level relative to New Jersey (47th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (43rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Johnsonburg ranks 17,935 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,806 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 375 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Johnsonburg and the insurance market
At the 43rd national percentile, Johnsonburg rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Johnsonburg (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
