What it’s like
The place. Keyport is a small borough in Monmouth County, and its households have lower incomes than the county as a whole. Homes here are split evenly between owners and renters, so it has more renters than is typical across the county. Winters are cold and summers warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Among the larger workplaces in Keyport are the Keyport School District and DashWave Delivery. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. The best-known places within reach are each a longer drive away. The Statue of Liberty is a tourist attraction, Central Park is a garden, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of several large museums on the list. Coney Island, a beach, is also 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 Keyport’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.
