Love your maps Mike!

Great maps Mike, thanks!

The words are a little hard to read, but I guess that's due to the downsizing that happens when you upload them ... very interesting stats though.

love it! man, there are some serious bucks in this state. is mendham a typo? it's a little hard to read, but it looks like $2500.00 when I'm sure it's probably around $250K.

You map is Wrong for Atlantic County. Where Egg Harbor City is listed, most of that area is Galloway, Egg Harbor City only occupies a small corner of the west side of the block labeled a Egg harbor City. Also the income for EHC is more in line with Pleasantville. Also there is two Absecon's listed next to each other. The top Absecon is also Galloway. Another problem I see is Tuckerton is missing from the middle of Little Egg Harbor. Most likely these maps are based on Zip codes and towns that do not have there own zip codes are not shown, or if part of the town shares there zip code with another, part of the township is included with the other. If the zip codes are shared between two townships, there are averaged out, that would explain why West Galloway's income levels are lower than East Galloway, the EHC incomes drag the overall average down.

If you read the TITLE of the thread, it is indeed by ZIP.
