What it’s like
The place. Lindenwold is a borough in Camden County, home to a younger population than is typical for the county. Incomes run well below the county's, and far fewer homes are lived in by their owners than across the county, so renting is common here. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in Lindenwold are the Lindenwold Public School District, Virtua Medical Group and Nutri Serve Food Management. Joblessness across Camden County has eased over the past year, and a modest number of people work from home.
Things to do. Most outings from Lindenwold mean a longer drive. Philadelphia has the best-known options, including Independence Hall, an historic site, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Lincoln Financial Field, a stadium, is also a longer drive away, and the USS New Jersey, a museum ship, is another longer trip.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lindenwold’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 Camden County and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro.
