NJ Most Densely Populated on the Planet

If you have been saying to yourself, “is it me or is there more traffic on the roads lately?!”  Or maybe you’ve noticed that local errands used to take you a fraction of the time it takes you now.  Well, it’s not you.  A new 3D map illustrates parts of the Garden State to be the most densely populated ON THE PLANET!  Let’s put some of these rankings into perspective. New Jersey occupies the top four spots of the most densely populated municipalities in the U.S.(all in Hudson County).  But wait, there’s more…New Jersey holds seven spots on the Top 10 list of population density.  In our Jersey Shore communities, there are over 5,000 people per square mile, not counting the summer tourists.  Environment groups are concerned about the development at the Shore and our ability to manage future super-storms as well as quality of life with regard to health risks. According to the 3D map, here are some specific numbers regarding NJ Population Density in the following towns:
