Living in South Jersey / Delaware Valley

South Jersey / Delaware Valley -- Camden, Cumberland, and Salem Counties, all sitting within or directly across the Delaware River from the Philadelphia metro -- shows one of the starkest urban-suburban price divides in this dataset within a single county. Camden, genuinely one of the most affordable housing markets in this entire dataset, is home to the Walt Whitman House (the poet's only owned home) and a real, ongoing waterfront redevelopment anchored by Adventure Aquarium and Rutgers University-Camden. Cherry Hill, in the same county, runs more than three times higher, anchored by the real, historically significant Cherry Hill Mall -- opened in 1961 as the first enclosed, climate-controlled shopping center in the Eastern United States, and significant enough that the surrounding township renamed itself after it. Vineland, further south, was genuinely founded in 1861 as a planned agricultural 'Garden City' by developer Charles K. Landis. Salem County, New Jersey's most rural, hosts the Salem and Hope Creek nuclear generating stations, the state's largest source of carbon-free electricity and Salem County's largest employer.
