What it’s like
The place. Oceanport is a small borough in Monmouth County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and far more so than is typical across the country. Household incomes are a little above the county's, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than in many places. Winters are cold, with January highs and lows that stay near or below freezing overnight, while July is warm. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Oceanport are Barnabas Health Medical Group, Absolute Delivery Services and the Oceanport School District. Across Monmouth County, unemployment is lower than a year ago and the number of jobs grew over the past year. A good share of residents work from home, and the typical commute is a long one for those who travel to a job.
Things to do. Most of the better-known places near Oceanport are a longer drive away. They include the Statue of Liberty, a tourist attraction, and Coney Island, a beach. The Brooklyn Museum is also a longer drive away, for an afternoon among art and exhibits.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Oceanport’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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.
