Woodbury Heights, NJ
Woodbury Heights, NJ's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Woodbury Heights sits at the 52nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,334 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woodbury Heights at the 53rd percentile, close to its 52nd-percentile risk score.
Woodbury Heights's building exposure, zone by zone
Woodbury Heights rates 66.3% Minimal exposure against just 33.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,334 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Woodbury Heights ranks
There's little gap between Woodbury Heights's 52nd national percentile and its 59th 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, Woodbury Heights ranks 15,290 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,914 by building count (1 is largest). Within New Jersey alone, it ranks 289 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
Woodbury Heights's elevated rating (52nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Woodbury Heights's 66.3% 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.
More on how this number was built
Woodbury Heights's 52nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Woodbury Heights, see the exposure-zones guide.
