Where new New Jerseyans come from

Having made a living in real estate for many years, I am always on the lookout for information helping to understand the patterns of people moving about.

Sunday's Ledger had a series of tables headed 'Nomadic New Jersey' exploring three patterns of moving: within New Jersey, into New Jersey, and out of New Jersey.

Below is the information on where people are coming from who move into New Jersey, listed by county. The colors are coded to the five regions into which the state is divided for marketing purposes. A map showing these is at the bottom of the page.



Data is gathered by the IRS from tax returns, this being for the change from 2003 to 2004.

As the Ledger points out, the data does not account for people with incomes below the filing threshold.

As always, click on the graphic to see it full size.
