Liberty Corner, NJ
Liberty Corner, NJ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Liberty Corner sits at the 33rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 669 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Liberty Corner at the 32nd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Liberty Corner's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Liberty Corner: 91% of its 669 buildings, versus 9% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
