Lindenwold, NJ
How exposed is Lindenwold to wildfire?
Lindenwold sits at the 56th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,710 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lindenwold at the 57th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Lindenwold's buildings actually sit
3,710 buildings are counted in Lindenwold, and 45.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 25% in Direct exposure or the 29.3% rated Minimal.
