Somerdale is a borough in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 5,566,[9][10] an increase of 415 (+8.1%) from the 2010 census count of 5,151,[19][20] which in turn reflected a decline of 41 (−0.8%) from the 5,192 counted in the 2000 census.[21]
