Stratford is a somewhat small borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 6,965 people and two associated neighborhoods, Stratford is the 265th largest community in New Jersey.

Also of interest is that Stratford has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.67% 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.

In Stratford, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 33.15 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average. One bright side is that local public transit is widely used, so it may be an option to avoid the headache of driving in the heavy traffic by leaving the car at home and taking transit.

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

The citizens of Stratford are very well educated compared to the average community in the nation: 37.11% of adults in Stratford have a bachelor's degree or even advanced degree.

The per capita income in Stratford in 2018 was $44,077, which is lower middle income relative to New Jersey, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $176,308 for a family of four. However, Stratford contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
