How to use the local evidence
Compare community contexts within New Jersey
Across 102 source-qualified communities with at least 20,000 residents, this guide’s planning measure ranges from 2.0% to 16.2%, with an unweighted community median of 6.4%. Examples from the largest available communities: Newark: 6.8% (Residents aged 15–19); Jersey City: 4.3% (Residents aged 15–19); Paterson: 7.1% (Residents aged 15–19). The cohort includes Census places and county subdivisions, which can overlap. These figures summarize community percentages; they are not a sum of residents, a statewide rate, an insurance-demand estimate or a pricing model. Use each city’s source and survey universe before drawing conclusions.
ACS five-year figures are survey estimates over a period, not live counts. Do not use small differences to rank cities, or treat an estimated zero as proof that no residents fit a category. County hazard and event records can span areas outside the city. No community measure is used here to set a personal premium. Sources and editorial methodology
