What it’s like
The place. Cherry Hill is a township in Camden County, across the river from Philadelphia. Households here earn more than the county's typical household, and most homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented. A large share of adults hold a four-year degree, and the population is somewhat older than in many American towns.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services, shops, and banks and insurance also common. Among the largest workplaces in Cherry Hill are Kennedy University Hospital, the Cherry Hill School District and Wegmans Food Markets. Commutes are of middling length, and a good number of residents work from home.
Things to do. Much of what draws people out is in Philadelphia, a short drive away: Independence Hall, an archaeological site and one of the best known places in American history, and the nearby Independence National Historical Park. The USS New Jersey, a museum ship, is also a short drive away, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a longer drive. Winters are cold and summers warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.

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