Roselle Park, NJ
How exposed is Roselle Park to wildfire?
Roselle Park sits at the 23rd 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 3,874 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Roselle Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Roselle Park rates 98.8% Minimal exposure against just 1.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 3,874 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Roselle Park against the rest of the country
Roselle Park scores 23rd nationally and 11th 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, Roselle Park ranks 24,181 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,362 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 621 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 23rd national percentile, Roselle Park rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Roselle Park
Roselle Park's 98.8% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
