What it’s like

The place. Riverton is a small borough on the Delaware River in Burlington County, home to a small population. Residents tend to be somewhat older than in much of the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners, a higher share than across the county as a whole. Household incomes run above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the hottest. Rain and melted snow fall fairly generously through the year.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops and manufacturing. A good number hold a four-year degree. The largest workplaces in Riverton include Riverview Estates, a skilled nursing facility, the Riverton School District, and the local mail and parcel delivery service. Commutes are fairly long, and a share of residents work from home. Across Burlington County, unemployment is lower than a year ago, and there are slightly more jobs than there were the year before.

Things to do. Much of what draws people out of town lies across the river in Philadelphia. Independence Hall and Independence National Historical Park are a short drive away, as is the Philadelphia Museum of Art, one of the city's best-known museums. The battleship USS New Jersey, now a museum, is also a short drive away, and Lincoln Financial Field, a stadium, is a longer drive.
