Thirty-First Street runs from the Delaware River south, across River Road to the Pavonia railroad switching yards. It starts again in East Camden at Pleasant Street and goes to Saunders Street. It picks up again at Federal Street and runs south to Stevens Street, alongside Woodrow Wilson High School. As in all numbered streets in Camden, it is North 31st Street above Federal, and South 31st below.
Although at one time a house or two stood east of the railroad tracks, since the early 1920s there have been no addresses on Thirty-First Street outside of Cramer Hill.
