Contrary to many "North Jersey: definitions, South Jersey boasts an array of economic profitability to the state as a whole. It is home to the state's 3 nuclear power plants (which for the ignorant, do no emit radioactive pollution, so reserve your half-educated "jokes") which provide 50% of the energy consumption by the state. New Jersey ranks in the top five states in country for production of blueberries, cranberries, spinach, bell peppers, peaches and head lettuce, all of which are primarily grown in SOUTH JERSEY. Tourism, which also constitutes a considerable fraction of NJ's GDP, is virtually exclusive to the southern region on the state. Not to mention cost of living, North Jersey may be dubbed "advanced" by some residents on here, however consider the median family income of a SJ county, Gloucester, at $82,655 with a median home value of $245,000. Morris County, in North Jersey, has a median family income of $102,096 and average home value of $458,000. I'm no mathematician but it seems that relative to income, North Jersey is significantly more expensive. Perhaps this explains why the state's foreclosures are concentrated in the Northern counties, not because the "advanced" counties are home to more expensive house values but because the real estate market is hyper-inflated. Not to mention, the lack of diversity in SJ is relative to the Philly metro area, as NJ's is relative to the more diverse NYC...common sense.
