What it’s like
The place. Englewood Cliffs is a small borough in Bergen County, and its residents are older than in most American towns. Nearly everyone who lives here owns their home, and household incomes run well above the county's, as do home values. Winters are cold, with January highs near freezing, and summers are warm, with a good deal of rain and melted snow over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, or in banks, insurance and property. Most adults hold a four-year degree, a good number work from home, and the typical commute is a long one. The town itself is home to large offices, among them Samsung Electronics America, LG Electronics USA and Unilever.
Things to do. The Cloisters, a museum, sits in or beside town. A short drive away are Central Park and a run of well-known museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art. The Statue of Liberty, a tourist attraction, is 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 Englewood Cliffs’ 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.
