Manville, NJ
Manville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Manville at the 24th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 4,003 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Manville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 25th percentile nationally.
Manville's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 54% of Manville's 4,003 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 2% Direct and 44% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Manville ranks
Manville scores 24th nationally and 13th 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, Manville ranks 23,926 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,241 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 608 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 24th national percentile, Manville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 54% of Manville'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.
