The southernmost county in New Jersey has the oldest Median Age in the State. Cape May County's average age is now 52.7 years old and approximately one out of every three CMC residents is 65 or older. This probably accounts why so many "Locals" as they call themselves are known to be open-minded, tolerant, empathetic, forward thinking, compassionate, great drivers, generous and generally a joy to be around. Lastly, they are masters of sarcasm or verbal irony.
