What it’s like
The place. Marmora is a small community in Cape May County where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, a higher share of owners than is typical across the country. Household incomes run above the county's, and few people live below the poverty line. A good many adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold while summers turn warm, with January the coldest month and July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, shops, and professional and business services. Across Cape May County, some of the largest workplaces are Cape Regional Medical Center, the Middle Township Public School District and Walmart. Very few people work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. Corson's Inlet State Park, a protected coastal area, lies in or beside town, as does the Tuckahoe River. A short drive away are Cape May National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, and Gillians Wonderland Pier and Island Waterpark, an amusement park. Steel Pier, another amusement park, is a longer drive away.

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 Cape May County and the Ocean City, NJ metro.
