Morganville, NJ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
67thpercentile nationally

Morganville sits at the 67th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,067 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Morganville at the 66th percentile, close to its 67th-percentile risk score.

Direct exposure dominates in Morganville: 63.8% of its 2,067 buildings, versus 24.3% Indirect and 12% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Where Morganville ranks

Morganville and the insurance market

Morganville's high rating (67th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

With 63.8% of Morganville 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.
