Turnersville, NJ
How exposed is Turnersville to wildfire?
USFS scores Turnersville at the 54th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 1,345 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Turnersville at the 56th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Turnersville's buildings actually sit
Most of Turnersville's buildings (55.6% of 1,345) 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.
Where Turnersville ranks
Turnersville scores 54th nationally and 64th 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, Turnersville ranks 14,405 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,856 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 255 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Turnersville
Turnersville's elevated wildfire rating (54th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 55.6% of Turnersville 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.
