Middle Class "Capital" of NJ

[syncmaster]

I found this graphic on another C-D thread - //www.city-data.com/forum/new-j...ps-2008-a.html.

I'd say everything colored orange and yellow is 'middle class' in NJ.



I'd say we could locate the capital if we could remove all zips with high ( > 10-15%) percentages of poor (say, household income less than 30k) and high percentages of rich (say, household income more than 200k).

Agreed. Those sections are upper income but I thought Belford, Leonardo, N Middletown and all the affordable housing complexes would make it more middle average-wise. I guess it's easier to say Middletown has something for all income levels.
