Singac, NJ
Singac, NJ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Singac lands at the 21st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 1,222 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 Singac at the 21st percentile, close to its 21st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Singac's buildings (96.2% of 1,222) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Singac compares
Singac scores 21st nationally and 7th 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, Singac ranks 24,999 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,525 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 654 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Singac
Singac's moderate wildfire rating (21st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 96.2% of Singac outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
