What it’s like

The place. Oradell is a small borough in Bergen County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Households here earn well above the county's typical income, and few residents live below the poverty line. Residents tend to be older than in many towns, most adults hold a four-year degree, and homes are valued far above what is typical across the country.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in banks, insurance and property, and in shops. Across Bergen County, some of the largest workplaces are Hackensack University Medical Center, The Valley Hospital and Stryker/Howmedica. Commutes are long, though a good many people work from home, and unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier.

Things to do. The best-known places nearby are all a longer drive away. Central Park is a garden for a long walk, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the city's major museums. The Statue of Liberty is a tourist attraction that draws visitors from everywhere. Winters here are cold, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Oradell’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 Bergen County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
