About West Creek

West Creek is a very small coastal town (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 3,142 people and just one neighborhood, West Creek is the 408th largest community in New Jersey.

Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, West Creek is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, West Creek is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and construction workers and builders. There are especially a lot of people living in West Creek who work in sales jobs (13.20%), office and administrative support jobs (12.61%), and teaching (9.44%).

One of the nice things about West Creek is that is it nautical, meaning that parts of the town are somewhat historic and on the ocean, or touch tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

West Creek is a small town, and as is often the case with smaller towns, the population isn't large or dense enough to support much in the way of a public transportation system. In fact, there are many rural roads around West Creek, which makes walking or biking to and from work a bit difficult. This makes for a very car-oriented town: 98.27% of residents commute to work by private automobile, and people often drive out of town for work, shopping, and other activities.

Being a small town, West Creek does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
