What it’s like
The place. Asbury is a very small community in Hunterdon County, among the smallest places in the state by population. Few households live below the poverty line, and homes here are valued well above what is typical across much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, peaking in July. Snow falls for part of the winter, and the year as a whole is fairly wet.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Across Hunterdon County, some of the largest workplaces are Hunterdon Medical Center, the Flemington-Raritan Regional School District and QuVa Pharma. The county's unemployment rate has eased compared with a year earlier, and the county has added a few more jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Close by, a short drive away, are the South Branch Raritan River, Spruce Run Recreation Area, a park, and Voorhees State Park, a protected area. A longer drive takes you to Round Valley Reservoir, a large reservoir. Together they offer room for walking, fishing and time outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Asbury’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 Hunterdon County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
