Rahway, Linden and Union are neither cheap per se nor predominately white. Each are racially and socio-economically diverse--but pretty darn middle class and not poor by any stretch. Just because they aren't as high income as their neighbors in Westfield, Millburn, etc doesn't make them poor.
I would never say that these places are "poor" but these towns median incomes are lower than state average which necessarily doesn't make the towns as a whole middle class, but more blue collar . (mainly Linden and Rahway)
Also, Linden and Union hover around 60% white. (I didn't know Rahway only had about a 50% white population)
Try Upper Saddle River, Essex Fells, look around upper Bergan county and around Long Beach Island , and some of those beach communties along the shore line*
Youll find plenty of lower middle class-> well not actually living there, but we do drive around a gawk at the homes and if lucky visit a rich white realitive for a Sunday brunch
We keep them hidden in neighborhoods all over the state, for safety's sake. If we had them all bunched up and something happened, Nj would be in a fine pickle.
