KNOW YOUR GEOGRAPHY

A compact state with distinct county geographies.

New Jersey’s counties follow the Hudson and Delaware river corridors and the Atlantic coast. The statewide view retains the coastal outline of the 2025 Census cartographic source.

City names can indicate a smaller geography. Newark is within Essex County and Jersey City is within Hudson County. For consistent comparisons, join county data using the statewide directory.

Renter costs do not mirror the household income map.

Ocean’s estimated rent-burden share was 58.3%, while Hudson’s was 46.4%. The measure covers renter households with a computable gross-rent-to-income ratio and should be read with ACS uncertainty in mind.

COMMON QUESTIONS

New Jersey county map questions.

Can I color Jersey City separately from Hudson County?

This editor selects Hudson County as a whole. Jersey City is useful as a label or contextual reference, but city-only observations need city geography.

How do I map counties on both sides of the Delaware River?

Use the national county editor for one map that spans New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and join the values using their full five-digit GEOIDs.

Where do I find the county for Newark?

Use Essex County, GEOID 34013, for estimates that cover the whole county. Newark city observations have a different boundary.

Can I compare the Jersey Shore with inland counties?

Yes. Join observations for the same measure and period to the individual coastal and inland counties you want to compare.

Why can Hudson grow while losing domestic movers?

Domestic migration measures net moves within the US. Total population can also change through international migration, births, deaths and adjustments.

What does New Jersey’s rent-burden map exclude?

It excludes renter households whose gross rent as a percentage of income could not be computed. The source is the 2020–2024 ACS.
