Roosevelt, NJ
How exposed is Roosevelt to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Roosevelt lands at the 73rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 346 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 Roosevelt at the 73rd percentile, close to its 73rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
346 buildings are counted in Roosevelt, and 97.7% 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.
Roosevelt against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Roosevelt's 73rd national percentile and its 81st percentile inside New Jersey, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roosevelt ranks 8,417 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,427 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 132 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Roosevelt
Roosevelt's high rating (73rd 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.
Hardening a home in Roosevelt
Roosevelt's 97.7% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Roosevelt's 73rd-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 Roosevelt, see the exposure-zones guide.
