What it’s like
The place. Belvidere is a small town in Warren County, New Jersey, with winters that run colder than much of the country and summers that turn properly warm. Snow falls every year, and the rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the seasons. Homes here are typically valued well above what many older owners elsewhere would expect, and the town's poverty rate is low, while county household incomes are healthy. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree here than in many places.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services, manufacturing and shops also employing many. Across Warren County, some of the largest workplaces are the Phillipsburg School District, St Lukes Warren Hospital and Hackettstown Medical Center. Commutes are on the long side, and relatively few people work from home. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The Pequest River and Beaver Brook run in or beside town, which makes for easy time by the water. A short drive away are Jenny Jump State Forest, a protected area for walking and camping, and Land of Make Believe, an amusement park popular with families. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Bushkill Falls, a waterfall, and Worthington State Forest, another protected area.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Belvidere’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.

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.
