Millington, NJ
How exposed is Millington to wildfire?
Millington sits at the 30th 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 1,132 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Millington's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 31st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
1,132 buildings are counted in Millington, and 95.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Millington against the rest of the country
Millington scores 30th nationally and 26th 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, Millington ranks 21,934 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,067 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 521 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Millington and the insurance market
Millington's moderate rating (30th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Millington
With 95.6% of Millington in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Millington's 30th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Millington, see the exposure-zones guide.
