Kean University, NJ
How exposed is Kean University to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Kean University at the 21st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 92 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Kean University at the 23rd national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Kean University rates 91.3% Minimal exposure against just 8.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 92 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Kean University compares
There's little gap between Kean University's 21st national percentile and its 6th 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, Kean University ranks 25,066 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,415 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 657 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Kean University
At the 21st national percentile, Kean University rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Kean University
Even with 91.3% of Kean University 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.
