| Camden County
Camden county is a fairly small county in terms of land area, comprising 220 square miles of New Jersey’s 8700 square miles. However, following in the general spirit of New Jersey, despite Camden’s size it boasts a very high population density at over 2000 people per square mile, which is nearly twice the average in New Jersey. The total population of Camden is over 500,000, most of which is mainly in the northwest half of the county.  
This population skew is clear from the diagram above, as the population density is greater for the darker shades of green, and is greatest in the very northwest tip of Camden city, directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. Despite the very high crime rate and the lowest per capita income (in New Jersey), the city of Camden is the county seat and still the heart of the county. Camden county holds many of the suburbs to Philadelphia, including Cherry Hill, which is one of the less densely populated municipalities just outside of Camden. Overall, there are 37 municipalities in Camden county, shown in the map to the right. Again, it is apparent from the map that the majority of the population resides closer to Philadelphia and the northwest region of Camden.
