Marlton, NJ
Marlton wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Marlton at the 54th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 3,304 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Marlton at the 56th percentile, close to its 54th-percentile risk score.
Where Marlton's buildings actually sit
Marlton rates 82.2% Minimal exposure against just 17.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 3,304 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Marlton compares
Marlton's risk sits at a similar level relative to New Jersey (64th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (54th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 256 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Marlton and the insurance market
At the 54th national percentile, Marlton rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Marlton
With 82.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Marlton gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Marlton's 54th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Marlton, see the exposure-zones guide.
