What it’s like

The place. Keasbey is a small community in Middlesex County, New Jersey, where most homes are rented rather than owned, a good deal more than across the county as a whole. Household incomes in the county run high, and fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than you might expect in this part of the state. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, and summers turn properly warm by July. Rain and melted snow come in generous amounts through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops and manufacturing. Only a small number work from home. Some of the largest workplaces in Keasbey are in delivery and distribution, among them FedEx and Wakefern Food. Across Middlesex County, unemployment is lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up slightly.

Things to do. The best-known sights nearby are a longer drive away. Those include the Statue of Liberty, a tourist attraction, and Central Park, a garden. For museums, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is also a longer drive away, as is Coney Island, a beach.

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