About
Life in Millville
If you're considering Millville, understand it's a working-class South Jersey city with genuine affordability compared to many northeastern markets—median home prices around $219,000 and rents near $1,261 monthly make it accessible, though the median household income of $70,275 suggests you'll want stable employment. The job market has some softness with unemployment at 8.7%, so you'll likely be commuting; the average is about 24 minutes, and you've got decent highway access via Route 55 and the Garden State Parkway to reach jobs in the broader region. The community itself is diverse with Ukrainian, Black, and Latino populations, and there's a functioning cultural scene anchored by the recently reopened Levoy Theatre.
