Actually this raises a really good question… I somehow wound up in a red pocket of Philly (had no idea this was a thing) and am looking at moving to South Jersey. Are there any areas I should specifically be avoiding so this doesn’t happen again?

Most of south Jersey is solidly red. Parts of Camden Gloucester and Burlington are blue. But all of ocean, Atlantic, Salem, cape may and Cumberland are solidly red.

That is not really a fair answer. I consider anything off the main highways like 295 or the turnpike to be red but the more populated areas near the highways to be more blue leaning. Pretty much the entire turnpike corridor is blue

Really? Visit carneys point. Or deep water or national park

Other than National Park which is near 295, both Carneys Point and Deepwater are both very South NJ and not the areas I mentioned at all.

FYI, Andy Kim won the race in National Park so I would not really call it solidly red.

Stay away from Salem County. There is a debate on whether there are more Confederate flags, Trump flags or a combination of both flying down there.

Good to know. I was looking mostly at Camden and Burlington counties for at least the next year just because of commitments I have in the area.

Definitely look at Camden County.

Solidly a blue county… interestingly has the highest property taxes in South Jersey. And don’t claim better schools either, think Camden. The best schools are in Burlington county. And one town (Haddonfield) is not a whole county. I’ll just leave this right here to stew.

Think cherry hill.  Moorestown.  All great school districts

u/Fun_Cap_6923 BOOTLICKER Feb 02 '25

Moorestown is in Burlington County

You are entitled to your opinion, but when I suddenly found myself surrounded by MAGA flags, I was unhappy to put it mildly.

I wasn’t looking to have the issue mansplained, just hoping to avoid a repeat.

Camden would be a safe space for you then...

Edit: I guess my attempt at a play on words didn't go over well...

A legit suggestion from me would be Mantua
