Leeds Point, NJ
Leeds Point wildfire risk explained
Leeds Point sits at the 95th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 100 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Leeds Point at the 93rd percentile, close to its 95th-percentile risk score.
Where Leeds Point's buildings actually sit
100 buildings are counted in Leeds Point, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Leeds Point against the rest of the country

Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 9 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
