You drew the North East Corridor. Penn to Trenton and into Philly. All aboard!

Are Camden and Cherry Hill central? Idk.... AC and the Pine Barrons are quintessential south jersey

Uh oh, did not mean for this post to be received negatively. Just thought it was interesting seeing the N/C/S split from a different angle.

I think I feel this as I move around the state. Not sure the NCS designations are right (but it works without more controversial labels). Unfortunately it represents a more serious divide (polarization) than NCS or Pork Roll/Taylor Ham...

This is a good population density map, not a cultural map

Not really. Brick and Toms River have as much population density as the blue suburbs. It's cultural differences.

Of the whole state. The line going from New York to Philly is much denser. Of the top 25 largest towns in NJ, 19 are in the "central" line. Brick and Toms River are more like outliers.

And you're saying people in Middletown have more in common with people in Atlantic city than they do with Woodbridge OR Hackensack with Camden than Wayne?

Actually, this looks more of a voter's map. Ocean County is high density and republican voters.

There’s no way Bergen County is “central” Jersey.

Socio-cultural or political?

Is there a meaningful difference? Politics nowadays is more cultural than, like, policy driven

TheseMenArePawns OP t1_iszcp4x wrote

It is technically political, but I didn’t want “political” in the post title and make it super controversial

tbert56783 t1_iszh8c9 wrote

That's fair but I think it is somewhat controversial anyway....

I lived in Neptune and now Toms River and I have always considered myself Central Jersey.

It's alright friend, it's not meant to be a joke map - just an observation.

Interesting.

Had a moron who was arguing with me about politics in our state show me this map as if it was making the point that the state should go Republican. What he failed to u sweet and is that r/peopleliveincities

Newark being in Central NJ doesn't seem right to me.

No way you just called Hudson county Central Jersey

I’ve noticed this too. Areas within 5-10 miles of the Turnpike vote blue. The others mostly vote red.

Teterboro, it tied for the presidential race in 2016

I agree with this map the most.

But this is definately more political

What is the cultural difference between central and north?

PirateForward8827 t1_isz7b27 wrote

The socio culture is the same in Camden as in Princeton as in West New York as in Alpine? I don't think so.

I ran into Biden's motorcade last week on Route 206 just north of I-295, heading south. That blue strip is like an ATM for the democrat party.
