Woodbridge, NJ
How exposed is Woodbridge to wildfire?
USFS scores Woodbridge at the 32nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 5,348 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Woodbridge's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 32nd percentile nationally.
Where Woodbridge's buildings actually sit
Most of Woodbridge's buildings (97.8% of 5,348) 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. At 5,348 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Woodbridge against the rest of the country
Woodbridge's risk sits at a similar level relative to New Jersey (28th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (32nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodbridge ranks 21,591 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,225 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 506 of 700 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New Jersey on its state page.
Woodbridge and the insurance market
At the 32nd national percentile, Woodbridge rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 97.8% of Woodbridge 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.
