Tahiti,

Gladwyne is greater Philly's answer to Short Hills. You can't even begin to imagine.....

Gladwyne doesn't even remotely compare to Short Hills, NJ. Gladwyne is a town of about 3,000 people tucked away in mansions, there is no Main Street, maybe one restaurant from the late 1700s. You can drive right through it and not even know where you are.

You're right, the better comparison might be to Far Hills, New Vernon, or even Rancho Santa Fe California.

Technically, I was incorrect. The story I read was that Salem County had moved in front of Passaic County, not that Passaic was the poorest. However, three of the five poorest counties in the state are now in North Jersey. It reflects the general migration west and south and stronger economic growth in much of SJ. But Cumberland is still the poorest. I stand corrected.

Bottom 5 in NJ:

1. Cumberland $47,883
2. Hudson $51,656
3. Cape May $51,995
4. Essex $53,499
5. Passaic $54,551

There's a general ignorance about the differences in housing north vs. south jersey. It is nowhere near double and the property taxes are even closer in most municipalities.

United States by County by State, and for Puerto Rico - GCT1901. Median Household Income (In 2007 Inflation-Adjusted Dollars): 2007<BR>Universe: Households
actually, what those numbers tell me is that the 2 "poorest" North Jersey counties had median income increases higher than the 2 "poorest" South Jersey counties between 2004 and 2007. 24% -vs- 19%. gotta love data.

Not listed is Salem because it is no longer in the bottom 5. Cumberland and Cape May are too far away from Philly and white collar industry.
