New Jersey
Although it's the third smallest state in the nation in land area, New Jersey is the home of almost 9 million residents, giving it the highest population density in the United States. It has an average of 1,030 people per square mile. The availability of good jobs in the region certainly plays a part in its dense population; the average New Jersey household enjoys an annual income that is approximately $18,000 greater than the national average. The cost of living, while slightly higher than average, is not enough higher to neutralize the increased income. New Jersey sales tax is 6% and the average 2004 home sold for $280,000.
