Renaissance at Monroe, NJ
Renaissance at Monroe, NJ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Renaissance at Monroe sits at the 58th 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 353 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Renaissance at Monroe at the 57th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Renaissance at Monroe's buildings actually sit
89.5% of Renaissance at Monroe's 353 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 10.5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Renaissance at Monroe against the rest of the country

Renaissance at Monroe and the insurance market
