The Cumberland County area to me is like a piece of Alabama that somehow fell out of the sky and landed at the bottom of NJ. Salem County too is a scary place.
North Jersey is a scary place. NE Jersey, that is, at least for me. Then again, maybe that would be expected of me. I live practically a stone's throw away from the county line (Salem County). I don't know what makes you think it's scary, but it's none of my concern anyway.

I live less than 5 miles from the Cumberland County and Atlantic County line and other than the area being less populated compared to Northeast Jersey, I don't see what's so scary about it.
Rural, poor, pockets of wealth, pockets of ghetto. Think Sussex and Mercer with more conservatives and less transplants.
I don't know about that. Maybe Trenton and Newton may resemble a bit of the inner-city parts of Vineland, Millville and Bridgeton, but the more rural parts of Mercer, places like Hopewell and even parts of Ewing on the water sort of resemble what's just across the river in PA leading up to the Lehigh Valley. And Sussex County is like Upstate NY. The Vineland area is flat, no hills, again it is like being in the deep south.
There's more than gunfire, meth addicts and trashy trailer parks down there.
"Chicken farming" was the million $$$ business in the 50s and 60s.
Get a dozen eggs on the way to pick up your cedar fencing along rt 9.
Then there is "Hammonton, The Blueberry Capital of the World"
Always a fear that if you shot a deer down there some guys would take it away from you.
Where else would you go to shoot brandt and see a Canada Goose?
Sugar sand, tea colored water, motorcycle gang party land and mafia burial ground great pickerel fishing.
Tobbacco stains on the drivers door of pick-up trucks and who didn't belong to a fire company?
Always had trouble understanding the slurred words which was closer to a southern accent.
Then again, Forked River was considered north Jersey by folks in New Gretna.
