I'm looking at it from a COL/QOL ratio.

It (North Jersey) has a higher cost of living, though.

Houston is probably more economically-developed than South Jersey but, like much of Texas, comes with a more affordable COL, so I don't buy the economically-developed argument.

Because it's more developed. Simple supply and demand.

Houston is undoubtedly more economically developed than south Jersey and yes, it is more affordable because it sprawls extensively which helps to lower costs. That's not the case for north Jersey which is much denser and also has much more infrastructure than Houston.

That's not what was asked though. By that standard, MS would rank over CA for economy and that would be utterly ridiculous.
