I would like to know what suburbs of New York City have the largest Jewish population. I have gotten mixed reviews. One person said it was Scarsdale, another suggested Jericho, but my gut told me it was Great Neck. A few people said that none of these responses were correct and it's actually a more middle-class town in Rockland County. Perhaps if were to list a few towns, you could rank them from highest to lowest Jewish population. I will give my estimate, with 1 representing the most Jewish.
1. Great Neck, LI
2. Scarsdale, Westchester
3. Jericho, LI
4. Roslyn, LI
5. Chappaqua, Westchester
6. Livingston, NJ
7. Rockland County? (New City, West Nyack, Suffern?)
8. Five Towns, LI (Specifically Hewlett)
9. Port Washington, LI
10. Syosset, LI
To be clear, I am differentiating between secular and orthodox. I am asking for suburbs that have the most secular Jews so places like Williamsburg in Brooklyn need not apply. I am posting this on all the forums related to New York and its suburbs.

The more secular jews don't cluster like they used to, you can find some in most towns in the area but there isn't anywhere off the top of my head which is ultra-jewish anymore except for the orthodox areas.
Probably the closest thing you'll find is New City up in Rockland county. Maybe Scarsdale and parts of LI (don't know those suburbs well).
Yeah, but a secular jew and a gentile are going to have more in common culturally than a secular jew and an orthodox jew, or even more so, a hasid.
Someone looking for somewhere to live is going to be utterly unhelped by knowing where the orthodox do. Tbh a secular "jewish suburb" doesn't really exist anymore.

My mistake. Just re-read the OP and saw they are asking about secular exclusively.
I would agree with you in that case.
