I lived in Cape May County for 7 years, so I may be a bit biased. I wouldn't consider anything besides Cape May, Cumberland, Atlantic, and Salem Counties "South Jersey".
Sounds about right, at least if there's no Central Jersey.
Oh, I'd consider Middlesex, Monmouth and maybe Mercer counties Central Jersey. Part of Ocean County too. Some NYC influence but not as connected as further north. Nor as north.

from my standpoint, I'd just consider "Central Jersey" essentially to be a subset of North Jersey.
When I think of New Jersey from a British perspective, I think of wealthy New York suburbia. It's one of the richest states, right? So I doubt all of them are living near chimney towers belching out smoke, lol. Correct me if I'm wrong - and I believe this applies to Connecticut too - but New Jersey lacks a big city of its own, with places like Newark just being swallowed up by New York sprawl/overspill. Massachusetts has Boston. Seems to me that states like New Jersey and Connecticut are mostly either suburban sprawl or small towns.
When I think of North Carolina, I think of rednecks.
Depending on what part of NC you would be mostly correct. We lived in Goldsboro, Kinston and Mount Olive, all small towns in the eastern part of the state. Goldsboro wasn't AS bad because of the influence of the Air Force base. The others were horrible. Me, a former New Yorker, just hated it and couldn't wait to leave.
Now if you go near Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Asheville and especially CARY (Concentrated Area of New Yorkers), it's like being in another state.

I've heard a different fake acronym for Cary, nc: containment area for relocated yankees
Why not a transition zone with a mix of influences from both north and south Jersey?
It isn't.. when the ppl look to new York rather that Philadelphia, that's not SJ. When they root for ny teams, etc. Pretty discrete variables, relatively speaking. The changeover is relatively sharp.

I suppose that's one metric lol. I'm sure you'd see a mix of fans for both teams in some areas. Perhaps TV market would be an indicator.

I have heard that one the most. I never liked cary. Not because of transplants but because of it being to gosh darned suburban. Nothing special about it. I much prefer north Raleigh which is another area filled with transplants, but most are really good people. The area is super expensive though. To someone from up north it would be cheap. The houses there are generally 3 stories, have an acre of land, and have 3000sq ft+ of area in the house. The houses go for 350k and up. I love that area because it's near the lake, feels more outside of Raleigh, and has a bit more culture than Cary but still very suburban. I live east of Raleigh in a rural area, lots of farmland, not as many transplants, very hard core southern I suppose, and very cheap. I truly don't have a problem with transplants, there politics are more liberal I suppose but they are good people. It's just I don't want the state to be overpopulated and turn into suburban wasteland everywhere.

Even cary and chapel Hill have there share of southerners still. Asheville is crazy, go any direction outside of town and you enter a whole other world. Kinston and Goldsboro are pretty broke down areas from my understanding. Both are losing population.
