What it’s like
The place. Rockleigh is a very small borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, among the smallest places in the state. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow through the season. Summers are warm, July is the warmest month, and rain and melted snow fall steadily across the year.
Work. Rockleigh has a working side that surprises many visitors for a place of its size. Crestron Electronics, which makes computers and control equipment, Takasago International, a corporate office, and Carlee, a maker of nonwoven pads and wadding, are the largest workplaces in the borough. Residents themselves work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in banks, insurance and property. Across Bergen County, unemployment is lower than a year ago, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Several of the best known sights for outings lie a longer drive away. The Statue of Liberty is the most famous of them, a tourist attraction reached by a longer drive. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a museum and Central Park is a garden, both also a longer drive away. The Hudson River, a river of great importance to the region, is a longer drive as well.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Rockleigh’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.
