Methodology · New Jersey population ranking

New Jersey cities ranked by Census Vintage 2024 estimates.

New Jersey ranking uses Census Vintage 2024 Population Estimates Program data as of July 1, 2024. Ranks are state-scoped, using standard competition ranking ("1224"): tied cities share the lower rank and the next rank is skipped. Growth shown is 2020-base → 2024 — within-vintage; no 2010→2024 figures appear here per methodology §6.

This page covers every city for which Census publishes annual PEP estimates in New Jersey: standard incorporated places, any consolidated city-county governments, and (where applicable) DC or Urban Honolulu. Census-designated places (CDPs) are excluded with one named exception — Urban Honolulu. In states like Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, many residents live in towns and townships rather than incorporated cities; PEP does not publish annual estimates for those places (a V1 limitation), so the city counts for MCD-heavy states may be lower than expected.
