The riskiest towns for ticks in each state
More than a quarter of the 32,386 towns we score reach high tick risk at the summer peak, but the risk swings sharply from one town to the next, even inside the same county. In Monmouth County, NJ, Interlaken Borough rates high while Sea Bright Borough, same county and same Lyme rate, rates low, because one is far more wooded than the other.

The bigger picture
Tick risk across 50 states
Pull back from any one state and the pattern holds: risk tracks forest, not population. It runs hot through wooded New England and the upper Midwest, down the Appalachians, and cools over dense cities and open farmland. Want the town-by-town view?

Get your town's tick risk, daily
These are today's scores, and the danger moves with the weather. TickZone scores every town every day, and the iPhone app alerts you the evening before yours spikes. Free on the App Store.
How the ranking works
The Today score (0 to 100) is each town's live tick risk, the same number its own page shows. It combines three things, all in the table: the county's tick-borne-disease burden (CDC county Lyme, 2022 to 2023), the town's forest cover (10-meter satellite), and today's weather, which decides whether ticks are actually questing.
Because weather is local and keeps changing, the ranking moves day to day. Two neighboring towns split on forest cover; a dry week can drop a town below a wetter one. CDC publishes Lyme data by county only, so that column is county-wide, while forest and weather are per town. This is modeled environmental risk, not a count of local cases, and not medical advice. Full methodology.
