Robertsville, NJ
Robertsville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Robertsville lands at the 60th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 3,862 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Robertsville at the 60th percentile, close to its 60th-percentile risk score.
Where Robertsville's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Robertsville: 47.2% of its 3,862 buildings, versus 21.9% Indirect and 30.9% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Robertsville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Robertsville's 60th national percentile and its 69th percentile inside New Jersey, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows.
