I guess I’m really trying to see how it is with regard to population. Some areas of NJ further south get a bit “rednecky”. If I want that I could just move to Mississippi.

I think the section of NJ known as "pretty much Alabama" is found further south and closer to the Delaware Bay than that, but honestly, I only know the winery. Which seems to appeal to more upscale than redneck.
The OP should be aware that Ocean County has one of the worst--if not the worst--Opiate/Opioid addiction rates in NJ.
A couple of years ago, The New Jersey Department of Human Services published a report on the top 20 municipalities in the state for heroin and opiate/opioid abuse. You might be surprised that it wasn’t Essex County, Hudson County, or even Camden County that had the most towns on the list—it was Ocean County.
The following is a list of the particularly problematic Ocean County towns, their ranking regarding this addiction problem, and number of heroin cases:
Brick Town (6th) with 550 cases
Toms River (8th) with 512 cases
Lacey (11th) with 280 cases
Jackson (12th) with 277 cases
South Toms River (17th) with 202 cases

Interesting but looks like even Monmouth, which is where I am now, is not much different.
Yes, you are correct.
Contrary to popular belief, some suburban/rural areas of NJ have a higher incidence of opiate/opioid addiction problems than urban areas.
