The only area that would rival it would be Somerset/Hunterdon County corridor and SC ranks 7th, HC 4th. Atlantic County ranks 5th, Cumberland 6th. So, really, 4 SJ counties of the top 6 counties in NJ are currently leading the state in income growth.
1. Passaic 9.2%
2. Burlington 8.0%
3. Mercer 7.6%
4. Hunterdon 7.5%
5. Atlantic 6.8%
6. Cumberland 6.7*
State Average 3.9%

my census figures don't bear out what you're saying, it seems atlantic county is the SJ winner here, where are yours from?
