Lambertville, NJ
Lambertville, NJ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lambertville lands at the 33rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,422 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lambertville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 31st percentile nationally.
Lambertville's building exposure, zone by zone
1,422 buildings are counted in Lambertville, and 76.1% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 23.4% in Direct exposure or the 0.5% rated Minimal.
How Lambertville compares
Lambertville scores 33rd nationally and 31st within New Jersey — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lambertville ranks 21,055 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,526 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 480 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lambertville
Lambertville's moderate wildfire rating (33rd 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 Lambertville
