New Jersey has no unincorporated<br \/>\nterritory &mdash; every acre of Camden County lies inside one of its 36 municipalities, a mix of<br \/>\ncities, townships and boroughs, and the county runs on Eastern Time.

Berlin Borough and Berlin Township are separate<br \/>\nmunicipalities that share a border and a name &mdash; the borough is the older, denser center;<br \/>\nthe township surrounds it. Haddon Township (home to the Westmont section) is distinct from the<br \/>\nborough of Haddonfield two miles south, a common mix-up for newcomers. Audubon and Audubon Park<br \/>\nare also two different boroughs, not a town and its suburb. Tavistock, with 9 residents, is<br \/>\nmostly the private Tavistock Country Club and is New Jersey&#8217;s smallest municipality by<br \/>\npopulation. Pine Valley, once its own borough and home to the Pine Valley Golf Club, merged into<br \/>\nPine Hill on 1 January 2022 after a budget-driven referendum; its 21 residents and famous course<br \/>\nare now part of Pine Hill.<\/p>\n<h2>ZIP Codes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>08101&ndash;08105 &mdash; Camden (five ZIPs cover different sections of the city)<\/li>\n<li>08002 \/ 08003 \/ 08034 &mdash; Cherry Hill<\/li>\n<li>08012 &mdash; Blackwood, in Gloucester Township<\/li>\n<li>08081 &mdash; Sicklerville and Turnersville sections, shared by Gloucester and Winslow townships<\/li>\n<li>08037 &mdash; Sicklerville, Winslow Township<\/li>\n<li>08109 \/ 08110 &mdash; Pennsauken Township<\/li>\n<li>08043 &mdash; Voorhees Township<\/li>\n<li>08021 &mdash; Lindenwold, also serving Pine Hill, Clementon and Laurel Springs<\/li>\n<li>08108 &mdash; Westmont, shared by Haddon Township and Collingswood<\/li>\n<li>08033 &mdash; Haddonfield<\/li>\n<li>08030 &mdash; Gloucester City, also serving Brooklawn<\/li>\n<li>08031 &mdash; Bellmawr<\/li>\n<li>08004 &mdash; Atco, in Waterford Township<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tavistock has no ZIP code of its own; mail there is delivered under Haddonfield&#8217;s 08033. Every<br \/>\nother municipality on the list above has an assigned USPS ZIP; several boroughs share a code<br \/>\nwith a larger neighbor because the post office serving them sits just across the municipal<br \/>\nline.<\/p>\n<h2>Geography<\/h2>\n<p>Camden County sits in South Jersey&#8217;s Inner Coastal Plain, low and mostly flat, rising gently<br \/>\nfrom the Delaware River in the northwest toward the Pine Barrens fringe in the southeast. Of its<br \/>\n227.42 square miles, 221.36 are land and 6.06 are water, about 2.7 percent &mdash; mostly the<br \/>\nDelaware River itself along the county&#8217;s northwestern edge, plus the Cooper River, which runs<br \/>\nthrough Cherry Hill and Collingswood into Camden, and the Great Egg Harbor River&#8217;s headwaters in<br \/>\nWaterford and Winslow townships to the south.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia lies directly across the Delaware River to the northwest &mdash; a different state,<br \/>\nnot a bordering county. Within New Jersey, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/burlington-county\/\">Burlington County<\/a><br \/>\nborders Camden to the northeast and east, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/gloucester-county\/\">Gloucester County<\/a><br \/>\nborders it to the south and southwest, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/atlantic-county\/\">Atlantic County<\/a><br \/>\ntouches its southeastern corner near Winslow Township.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Camden County had a population of 523,485 at the 2020 census, and the latest estimate puts it<br \/>\nnear 535,799. Cherry Hill and Camden are the two largest municipalities, together holding about<br \/>\n28 percent of the county&#8217;s population, though Cherry Hill is entirely suburban and Camden is the<br \/>\ncounty&#8217;s only sizable city. Median household income runs $73,672, below New Jersey&#8217;s statewide<br \/>\nfigure of roughly $97,126 &mdash; the gap driven largely by Camden city, one of the poorest cities<br \/>\nin the country by that measure, against wealthier suburbs like Haddonfield and Voorhees. Density<br \/>\nworks out to about 2,365 people per square mile of land, among the highest in South Jersey and<br \/>\nreflecting the county&#8217;s position inside the Philadelphia metropolitan area.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Health care and social assistance is the county&#8217;s largest employment sector, anchored by<br \/>\nCooper University Health Care&#8217;s main hospital campus in Camden, followed by retail trade and<br \/>\nprofessional services concentrated along the Route 70 and Route 38 corridors in Cherry Hill and<br \/>\nVoorhees. Subaru of America moved its US corporate headquarters to Camden&#8217;s waterfront in 2018,<br \/>\nand Campbell Soup Company has kept its headquarters in Camden since the company&#8217;s 1869 founding<br \/>\nthere. Rutgers University&ndash;Camden and Cooper Medical School of Rowan University both sit<br \/>\ndowntown, alongside the Battleship New Jersey Museum and Adventure Aquarium on the waterfront.<br \/>\nThe county&#8217;s biggest annual draws are the concert seasons at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, an<br \/>\namphitheater on the Camden waterfront that opens each May and pulls crowds from across the<br \/>\nPhiladelphia region.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>New Jersey&#8217;s legislature formed Camden County on 13 March 1844, carving it out of Gloucester<br \/>\nCounty. It was named for Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden, a British judge and vocal supporter of<br \/>\nthe American colonies before the Revolution. Camden had already been incorporated as a city in<br \/>\n1828 and became the new county&#8217;s seat.<\/p>\n<p>Camden grew through the 19th and early 20th centuries as an industrial river port &mdash; home<br \/>\nto RCA Victor&#8217;s record and radio works, the New York Shipbuilding Corporation, and Campbell Soup&#8217;s<br \/>\ncannery. That base collapsed after the mid-20th century as factories closed and population moved<br \/>\nto the county&#8217;s growing suburbs; Camden city&#8217;s own population fell by more than half between 1950<br \/>\nand 2000. Recent decades have brought a state-backed rebuilding push centered on the waterfront,<br \/>\nRutgers-Camden&#8217;s expansion, and the Cooper Health System&#8217;s growth downtown.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>Interstate 295 and the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95) both cross the county north to<br \/>\nsouth. Route 42, Route 30 (the Admiral Wilson Boulevard corridor into Camden), Route 70 and Route<br \/>\n130 are the other principal roads.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Philadelphia &mdash; directly across the Delaware River from Camden<\/li>\n<li>Atlantic City &mdash; about 45 miles southeast<\/li>\n<li>Trenton &mdash; about 30 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Vineland &mdash; about 30 miles south<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Philadelphia International Airport, about 8 miles from Camden across the river, is the nearest<br \/>\nmajor commercial airport. The PATCO Speedline, a rapid-transit line, links Lindenwold, Ashland,<br \/>\nWoodcrest, Haddonfield, Westmont, Collingswood and Camden directly to downtown Philadelphia.<br \/>\nNJ Transit&#8217;s Atlantic City Line also stops at several of those same stations. The nearest Amtrak<br \/>\nstation is Philadelphia&#8217;s 30th Street Station.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Camden County located?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt sits in South Jersey directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, bordered by<br \/>\nBurlington, Gloucester and Atlantic counties within New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Camden County?<\/strong><br \/>\n523,485 at the 2020 census, with a 2025 estimate near 535,799.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Camden County?<\/strong><br \/>\n227.42 square miles (589.0 km2), of which 221.36 square miles are land.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Camden County?<\/strong><br \/>\nCamden is the county seat and has held that role since the county&#8217;s formation in 1844.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Camden County?<\/strong><br \/>\n36 municipalities &mdash; 2 cities, 8 townships and 26 boroughs.
