The 30 richest and 30 poorest towns in New Jersey

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median household income in New Jersey is $99,781.

In Pennsylvania, it's around $73K, New York's is about $81,600, and Delaware is just over $86K.

And while those are big numbers, we all know just how expensive it is to live in (or around) the great Garden State.

For example, the average homeowner here paid nearly $10,100 in property taxes last year.

Long story short, even if your family is pulling in $100,000/year, after you pay taxes and bills, there ain't much left.

Case in point, the state's poverty level is usually somewhere in the 9 to 10% range.
