Runnemede, NJ: what USGS's seismic model says

Under the seismic model IBC and ASCE 7 use for new construction, Runnemede is Category B. Low seismic hazard. Code requires basic seismic detailing (bracing, connections) but no special structural system restrictions. Nationally, Runnemede ranks above 55% of the 4,875 cities in this dataset for seismic hazard - the 55th percentile.

How Runnemede compares

The raw figures: peak ground acceleration 0.096g, short-period spectral response 0.174g, 1-second spectral response 0.046g. Among 194 New Jersey cities in this dataset, Runnemede ranks 168 for seismic hazard, the 13th percentile within the state. About 8,425 people live in Runnemede, New Jersey.

What a retrofit costs in Runnemede

Outside California, no state-level retrofit grant equivalent to Brace + Bolt could be found for New Jersey. A typical retrofit still runs $5,000-$10,000 nationally, about $7,000 for a common single-family job.

Earthquake insurance for a Runnemede home

Outside California, earthquake coverage is typically sold as an endorsement added to a standard homeowners policy, not a separate product - worth asking about directly when getting a home-insurance quote for a Runnemede address.
