How New Jersey’s population is spread across places
Places of 25,000 to 99,999 residents hold the largest share of New Jersey’s covered place population: 34.9% across 34 places. Between July 2024 and July 2025, places of 100,000 or more residents changed fastest as a group (+0.6%), while places of under 500 residents changed least (+0.2%). Size bands use July 2025 populations; group change sums each band’s 2024 and 2025 estimates.

What this state directory covers
The list uses Census Population Estimates Program place records (summary level 162): mostly incorporated cities, towns and villages, with their official labels and identifiers. Unincorporated communities and most census-designated places are outside this release, so a named community can be absent even though people live there, and the place totals above are smaller than the state population. Annual changes can reflect boundary adjustments as well as population change. Dollar figures are ACS 2020–2024 five-year medians in 2024 dollars, joined by exact place GEOID.
