What it’s like
The place. Allendale is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, and most homes here are lived in by their owners, a larger share than across the county as a whole. Residents are older than in many places, and household incomes run well above the county's, with fewer people living below the poverty line than you might expect. A four-year degree is common among adults, and typical home values are high.
Work. Many residents work in professional and business services, in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, and in banks, insurance and property. Some of the biggest workplaces in Allendale itself are Minaris Advanced Therapies, the Northern Highlands Regional High School District and Control Associates. Commutes are on the long side, though a good number of people work from home, and Bergen County has seen unemployment ease over the past year while the number of jobs slipped slightly.
Things to do. Winters are cold and snowy, summers warm, and precipitation is steady through the year, so outings tend to be planned around the season. Within a longer drive are the Statue of Liberty, a well-known tourist attraction, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of the best known museums in the country. Central Park, a large garden in the heart of the city, is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Allendale’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Bergen County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
