What it’s like
The place. Oaklyn is a small borough in Camden County, a close-knit place where most homes are lived in by their owners, and a four-year degree is held by a good share of adults. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and the typical home is worth a fair amount. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers turn hot by July, and rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, the building trades, and banks, insurance and property. Across Camden County, some of the biggest employers are Cooper University Hospital, Cherry Hill School District and Centuri Group. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs there has edged up. A fair number of residents work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. Philadelphia is a short drive away, and it holds much of what visitors come to see. Independence Hall, an archaeological site, is one of the best known, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a short drive away too. The USS New Jersey, a museum ship, is also a short drive away.

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 Oaklyn’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 Camden County and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro.
