What it’s like
The place. Mount Royal is a very small community in Gloucester County, and every home in town is lived in by its owners. No one in town falls below the poverty line, and typical home values sit well above what many people would expect for a place this size. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn properly hot by July. The town sees a fair amount of snow each winter and a good deal of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing following behind. Across Gloucester County, some of the largest workplaces are Rowan University, Amazon and Lourdes Health System. Unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Sports fans have several stadiums a short drive away, including Lincoln Financial Field and Citizens Bank Park. The USS New Jersey, a battleship museum, is also a short drive away. For more time in the city's museums, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a longer drive, as is Independence Hall, the historic site where the nation's founding documents were debated.

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