Leisure Knoll, NJ
How exposed is Leisure Knoll to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Leisure Knoll lands at the 86th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 1,640 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Leisure Knoll's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 83rd percentile nationally.
Leisure Knoll's building exposure, zone by zone
1,640 buildings are counted in Leisure Knoll, and 97.5% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 2.5% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Leisure Knoll compares
Leisure Knoll scores 86th nationally and 91st 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, Leisure Knoll ranks 4,476 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,621 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 62 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Leisure Knoll and the insurance market
Leisure Knoll's very high rating (86th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 97.5% of Leisure Knoll's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
