Be honest, you just threw darts at a map of NJ.

Salem and Cumberland counties for the most part. Maybe certain areas in Warren County could be included as well.

Drive down to Mt. Laurel and repeat that statement . Not all of south Jersey is poor.

Stunning question in the OP.

Reminds me of the question, 'where is europe's 'capital'...answer, 'all over europe'.

Completely disagree with Woodbridge and I think Sayreville is much more decent than that.

I've lived in the cape may area and a lot of us are poor. We have a tourist based economy so in the winter the unemployment rate is at an all time high. This is not saying everyone is poor. But I have noticed a lot of people from lower township and middle township are on food stamps. And 75% of the people I know are poor. So If you asked me where the poorest place around me for whit people is id say del haven or the villas, even though they have very nice houses. For the minorities it would be whitesboro, wildwood, and other middle township communities. It's funny how I go to lower township high school and there are only like 8 black people but when you go to middle township high school there's about a 50:50 ratio of white and black.

I live in Corbin City. It's small (NJ's smallest town with its own City Council. There is an article about it but Id have to find it) It's more middle class than low income. In South Jersey I'd say EHT has some low income areas, Pleasantville, Somers Point, Rio Grande, Villas, Wildwood, Whitesboro, Woodbine and I consider all are more low income than Corbin City.

I agree with other commenter, not all of south Jersey is poor. You need to visit here to actually no. Also, not hillbillies either, far from it. Sorry

Also, Cumberland county like Millville & Vineland & Bridgeton are low income. Someone mentioned them not being low but they are very low.

I agree most isn't true. You did forget Bridgeton, Rio Grande, Villas, Whitesboro

I live at the bottom of the state. Cape may county is the very bottom of the state. The Atlantic county and Cumberland county and I forget the next 2 but I think Salem County is more in the middle definitely not the bottom.
