Auburn is a small community in Salem County, New Jersey. It is known as a census-designated place (CDP). This means the U.S. Census Bureau sets its borders to count people, even though it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town.
Auburn is part of two larger areas: Oldmans Township and Pilesgrove Township. It includes both quiet rural areas and some suburban parts.
