NEW JERSEY — With the nickname of the “Garden State,” one would expect to see miles of farmland. While that scenario may play out in rural regions of New Jersey, it’s the metropolitan areas that are making headlines and big impressions these days.
The state that gave us Frank Sinatra, Atlantic City, and Princeton University is also known as the most densely populated state in the nation. In fact, three quarters of its population lives within a 30-mile radius of New York City.
