What it’s like
The place. Long Valley is a small community in Morris County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, a far higher rate than is typical. Incomes run a little below the county's, though they are still comfortable, and very few households live below the poverty line. Most adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold, with the coldest weather in January, while summers turn warm by July and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in professional and business services, in schools, hospitals and social care, in banks, insurance and property, and in manufacturing. A good number of people work from home. Across Morris County, some of the largest workplaces are Morristown Medical Center, Novartis Pharmaceutical US Headquarters and Skanska USA Building, and the county has been adding jobs, with unemployment lower than a year earlier.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Hacklebarney State Park and Black River County Park are both protected areas a short drive away. Willowwood Arboretum, a botanical garden, is also a short drive away and suits a quiet walk among the plantings. Lake Hopatcong, a large reservoir, is a longer drive for a day by the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Long Valley’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.
