What it’s like
The place. Newfield is a small borough in Gloucester County where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Residents are somewhat older than in many places, and household incomes sit just under the county's, with relatively few people living below the poverty line. The typical home is worth a good deal less than in many parts of the country's metro areas, in a town small enough that neighbors tend to know one another.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by the building trades, banks and insurance, and shops. Across Gloucester County, some of the largest workplaces are Rowan University, Amazon and Inspira Medical Center Mullica Hill. The commute is fairly long, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. The nearest well-known places are a longer drive away. The Delaware River is the closest, and in Philadelphia, Independence Hall is a historic site, while the Franklin Institute and the Barnes Foundation are museums. Winters are cold with some snow, summers are hot, and rain falls through the year, so it helps to pick the season for a day trip.

Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.
Natural hazards
- Winter weatherRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Newfield’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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.
