Weird fact about colts neck: they lost a measurable portion of their population in 9/11. Census data even mentions it.

Colts Neck population in 2001: 10,384

Colts Neck population in 2002: 10,565

EDITED FOR CLARITY: I was also incorrect. Colts Neck lost five residents in 9/11. Red Bank lost two.

I stand corrected — your profile picture popped up on my watch and made this correction significantly more welcomed.

I was mistaking the Wikipedia fun fact for census data in my memory.

I don’t know if you were technically incorrect. I lived there during 9/11, and I think proportionally it was mentioned as having a higher ‘rate.’ I had thought it was a few more than 5, but I suppose some may have technically had a different residence officially. This was In terms of how many people died in terms of the towns population, and not the actual number or anything. I only say it because this wasn’t the first time I’ve heard this, so it must’ve been said somewhere.
