What it’s like
The place. Kenvil is a small community in Morris County, with a population that is modest even by the standards of New Jersey towns. Household incomes here run well below the county's, which is among the more affluent in the state, and a modest share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and freezing nights common, while July brings warm days, and a good deal of rain and melted snow falls over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, manufacturing, and banks, insurance and property. Across Morris County, jobs grew slightly over the past year, and unemployment is lower now than it was a year earlier. Among the county's largest workplaces are Morristown Medical Center, Novartis Pharmaceutical US Headquarters and UPS.
Things to do. Lake Hopatcong, a large reservoir, is a short drive away, as is Hopatcong State Park, a protected area for walking and time by the water. Bertrand Island Amusement Park is also a short drive from town. For a longer outing, Fulmer Falls is a waterfall 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 Kenvil’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 Morris County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
