Technically all of Central Jersey is North Jersey depending on who you ask. When I went to college, people said New Brunswick was North Jersey lol.
And you grew up in UNION??

NY and Philadelphia 1 and 3 respectively. Would be nice to see where JC/Newark and Boston rank and a racial breakdown on who left.

Idk I think it was mostly white people moving by to the cape or New Hampshire tbh. They were dying at higher rates after infection because they’re exceptionally old and blacks in MA are pretty young.

I saw this on the Boston police department Facebook page..

I don’t know how I feel about this. There’s been a lot of nonfatal roving shot outs between vehicles this past week in crowded areas during the day, and dirt biking. Along with a surge in youth gun arrests/assaults and subsequent Fox News coverage…Road closure as a preventative crime measure? Has anyone see this in their city before? No mention on how long this will last.

I won't say the exact towns but I've grew up in Union County*, Somerset County, and Middlesex counties. Born in Essex County But yeah, folks can be very "gatekeepy" of what's really North vs. Central vs. South etc.

Sentiments like this aren't uncommon lol

Just curious, but does Camden have any middle class areas within city limits? I'm sure there is an area or two, but it is a city that is usually viewed in a negative light, yet even said cities can still have middle class areas.

that have decent black populations? Not really. Even if it did, I wouldn't recommend Camden to any family despite the recent improvements. the city has a very long way to go. There are a plethora of better options in South Jersey and Camden County.

A few census tracts, off a quick search I couldn't find any neighborhoods with a large black population with a MHI over 50k in the City of Camden.

1. Street View
59% Black
MHI $48,967
https://censusreporter.org/profiles/...p-4-camden-nj/

2. Street View
65% Black
MHI $47,344
https://censusreporter.org/profiles/...p-2-camden-nj/

3. Street View
78% Black
MHI $40,972
