Beachwood is a medium-sized coastal borough (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 11,242 people and three associated neighborhoods, Beachwood is the 182nd largest community in New Jersey.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.46% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Beachwood is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The borough’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Beachwood’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

Beachwood is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

In Beachwood, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 30.31 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.

In terms of college education, Beachwood is somewhat better educated than the 21.84% who have a 4-year degree or higher in the typical US community: 27.47% of adults 25 and older in the borough have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Beachwood in 2022 was $49,332, which is lower middle income relative to New Jersey, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $197,328 for a family of four.
