What it’s like
The place. Lambertville is a small city whose residents are older than in most American towns, and most households own the home they live in. Incomes run below the county's, though few residents live below the poverty line, and the great majority of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Snowfall is modest by northern standards, and there is a good deal of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Across Hunterdon County, the largest workplaces include Hunterdon Medical Center, Ferreira Construction Co and the Flemington-Raritan Regional School District. The county has added jobs over the past year, and unemployment there has eased compared with a year earlier. A fairly long commute is typical, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. In or beside town, Bucks County Playhouse is a theatre, and Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve is a botanical garden. The James W. Marshall House, also close by, is a small museum. For a longer drive, Princeton Art Museum offers a larger museum visit.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lambertville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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.
