What it’s like
The place. Milmay is a small community in Cumberland County, in the southern part of New Jersey, and it is home to far fewer people than the towns around it. Homes here are valued well above what the county's incomes might suggest, and the share of residents living below the poverty line is modest. Winters are cold, with January highs staying above freezing only by a few degrees and nights dropping well below it.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Cumberland County, the largest workplaces include Inspira Medical Center Vineland, the Vineland Public School District and the Millville School District. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has slightly more jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Several rivers are a short drive away, including Stephen Creek, Deep Run and the Manumuskin River, which suit anyone who likes time on or beside quiet water. A longer drive brings you to Belleplain State Forest, a protected area of woods and trails. Farther off, Steel Pier is an amusement park for days when visitors are in town. Summers are warm and the year brings a fair amount of rain, with snow in the colder months.
