Audubon is a somewhat small borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 8,691 people and three associated neighborhoods, Audubon is the 228th largest community in New Jersey. Much of the housing stock in Audubon was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs in the country.

Of important note, Audubon is also a borough of artists. Audubon has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Audubon’s character.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 18.03% 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.

Even though Audubon is a smaller borough, it has many people who hop on public transportation – mostly the subway for their daily commute to work. Typically, these people are commuting to good jobs in the surrounding cities.

The per capita income in Audubon in 2018 was $45,562, 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 $182,248 for a family of four.
