You'd also find a lot of places in NW Jersey and SW Jersey.

LOL!

"...at the bottom of the state, geographicly..."

Last time I checked there were a couple of other counties down there.

Such as Cumberland and Cape May

Because there are two other countys down there does that mean that Salem isn't down there too?......Silly.

I lived in Middletown for nearly 15 years, and I can tell you that Monmouth County became a Lot more expensive in the last 10 years.

Because of the Bayshore's proximity to NYC, it is far from cheap. The only two towns of those listed above that I would consider to be truly Lower Income would be South River and Keansburg. (OK, S.River is in Middlesex County, I am aware of that.)

Last time I browsed the classifieds, there were 2 bedroom apartments in Keansburg listing for $1000/month. (Keansburg!)

Hazlet is actually Middle Income, and Keyport and Matawan are more of the same. There may be a blue collar influence there, but I wouldn't call any of those towns Lower Income. (I haven't looked up any of stats, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

I would call Laurence Harbor a working class area, not necessarily poor. I guess when I think Poor, I think Poverty Line, and lots of public assistance.
