What it’s like
The place. Nutley is a township in Essex County, and most homes there are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run well above the county's, and the share of residents living below the poverty line is fairly low. A majority of adults hold a four-year degree, and the population leans toward middle age.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, in banks, insurance and property, and in shops. Eastwick College-Nutley, PNC and The Accent Group are among the largest workplaces in town. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of people work from home. Across Essex County, unemployment is lower than a year ago, and the county has added a little to its jobs.
Things to do. For a game or concert, MetLife Stadium is a short drive away. The American Museum of Natural History is also a short drive away, and the Statue of Liberty is a longer drive away. Winters are cold, with real snow, and summers turn warm, with plenty of rain and melted snow across the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Essex County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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.
