This is one of the fastest growing communities in New Jersey. The 2010 census indicated that the town grew 53.8% between 2000 to 2010, to rise to a total population of 92,843. The 2015 estimate has it at 99,262. The 2016 population estimate is likely over 100,000 now. Anyone have the 2016 estimate? Any projections to 2020 or 2030?
The city also faces deep budget issues, especially for its school board due to the high number of private school enrollees and low number of public school students, in which the state school aid formula is based on. The whole public financing issues for the city and school board fascinate me deeply.
Some recent news articles on the situation facing the public school board finances.
