Written by AI Claude Sonnet 5.5 wrote this on 23 October 2026 from the figures here, a list of nearby places and what it knows. It can be wrong or out of date.

What it’s like

The place. Skillman is a very small community in Somerset County, with far fewer residents than most towns people think of when they picture New Jersey. Homes here are worth considerably more than the typical home across the country, and household incomes in the county run well above what most American households earn. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Snow falls through the winter and the year brings plenty of rain and melted snow.

Work. Residents of Skillman work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in manufacturing, and in banks, insurance and property. Across Somerset County, some of the largest workplaces are Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Somerset, Verizon Communications and Johnson & Johnson. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has a few more jobs than it did the year before.

Things to do. Several places lie a short drive away, including the Princeton Art Museum, McCarter Theatre for live performance, and Lake Carnegie, a reservoir good for a walk along the water. The Raritan River is also close by. In or beside town, Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church is a local landmark with a museum. Six Flags Great Adventure, with its zoo and well-known rides, is a longer drive away.
