What it’s like
The place. Pedricktown is a small community in Salem County, New Jersey, and nearly everyone who lives there owns their home. Household incomes run higher than across the county, and fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers are warm and the days in July can be hot, and a fair amount of rain and melted snow falls through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, in shops, and in manufacturing. The Oldmans Township School District, Wysocki Electric and Philly Electrical Services are among the largest workplaces in the town itself. A typical commute is a moderate one, and a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Fort Christina is a historic fort, and the Delaware Art Museum is a good stop for an afternoon indoors. Subaru Park, a stadium, is also a short drive away. The Delaware River, one of the best known features of the region, is a longer drive.

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