Canadian cities are about as dense as German cities

Around Western Somerset County is where you start to see the drop in density followed by most of Hunterdon County with the exception of communities bordering the river, on the PA and NJ side (Delaware).

Sussex and Warren are generally very low.

Way to think of the NY metro from a density perspective or visualize it for quick reference is if you draw an acute angle from Center City in Philly and extend it up the point where it touches the GWB Bridge, a very large bulk of the density peak follows that angle. In that respect, the metro area and most of Bos-Wash follows a similar path.

The whole city of LA could fit in North Eastern NJ and that section still has a higher population within 550 sq-miles than all of LA.

NJ is all about concentrated density and the surrounding areas often bog down its density numbers. Reference Ocean County as an example.

Those 2030 figures will be interesting as the state is growing quite fast.

We are surely to see some increases density wise for some of the fringes due to the housing mandate. And I can tell you, multi-family housing is rising in the fringe suburbs. Developments truly under the radar.
