New Jersey Population

New Jersey has experienced a 3.7 per cent increase over the last few years. New Jersey is also the most densely populated and the second wealthiest state in the U.S. due in part to some of its cities serving as part of the Greater Metropolitan areas of New York City and Philadelphia. The largest cities in New Jersey include Newark, Trenton, the state capital, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, Edison Township, Woodbridge Township, Dover Township, Hamilton and Camden.

New Jersey Economy

New Jersey’s coastal location is its greatest economic attribute lending itself to shipping initiatives as well as tourism of its beaches and marine locations. New Jersey’s location between New York and Philadelphia creates a network of highways perfectly suited for transportation businesses. The Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal is one of the busiest shipping hubs in the world. Nearby Newark Liberty International Airport is also one of the busiest airports in the world. Agriculturally New Jersey exports products including cranberries, seafood, dairy products, eggplants, tomatoes, nursery stock and peaches. New Jersey is a major pharmaceutical hub and is home to companies such as Pfizer, Merck, Johnson and Johnson, Novartis and Bristol Myers-Squibb.

New Jersey Tourism and Recreation

The Jersey Shore is famous for miles of beaches and family fun including Atlantic City, Cape May, Ocean City, Toms River and The Wildwoods. Historic sites in New Jersey include the Ellis Island National Monument, the Edison National Historic Site, the Princeton Battlefield, the Washing Crossing State Park, Monmouth Battlefield State Park and the USS New Jersey. Most of New Jersey is still covered in forest so outdoor enthusiasts enjoy camping, hiking and fishing especially on the designated Appalachian Trail route.

As the state slogan says, "New Jersey and You are Perfect Together," especially if you’re looking to buy New Jersey real estate for a thriving economy, great quality of life and deeply-rooted history.
