What it’s like
The place. Brooklawn is a small New Jersey borough in Camden County, and it is a place where most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run below the county's, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July. Snow falls through the winter, and rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in professional and business services. Across Camden County, some of the largest workplaces are Cooper University Hospital, Kennedy University Hospital and the Cherry Hill School District. Commutes are fairly short, and a modest number of people work from home.
Things to do. Lincoln Financial Field, a stadium, is in or beside town. A short drive away are Independence Hall, an archaeological site, and the USS New Jersey, a museum. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is also a short drive away, along with a good many of the city's other museums.

Natural hazards
- Coastal floodingRelatively high
- Winter weatherRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Brooklawn’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 Camden County and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro.
