What it’s like
The place. Stratford is a borough in Camden County, in the Philadelphia area of southern New Jersey. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run higher than across the county as a whole. The population is on the younger side, and winters are cold while summers turn quite warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by retail, the building trades, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Some of the biggest workplaces in Stratford itself are Jefferson Hospital Stratford, the Stratford School District and Laurel Manor Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center. Commutes are fairly long, and a share of people work from home. Unemployment across Camden County has come down from a year earlier.
Things to do. Sports fans have Lincoln Financial Field, a stadium a short drive away, and the USS New Jersey, a museum a short drive away. For a longer outing, Independence Hall is a historic site a longer drive away, as is the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Stratford’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Camden County and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro.
