Jersey City was looped in with New York City as one of the country's most affordable (and popular) gay communities based on concentration and property prices, according to a report done by real estate website Trulia with CNN.

Trulia identified zip codes with the heaviest concentrations of gay men and women by examining Census Bureau statistics. It then determined a neighborhood's affordability by looking at the median price per square foot of homes listed in that particular zip code over the past year.Gay Men Prefer JC and Lesbians Prefer BK

I noticed that Ward C has a large single, loner type crowd and east of JSQ is becoming more Gay like. Perhaps they are living in differents parts of the city just in certain pockets of certain neighborhoods.

Not sure, but Greenville is slowly becoming Gayville quickly. LOL

What is the percentage of these couples living in these towns compared to the population they live side by side to ?

Most have already left downtown and exploring all parts of the city. If you are not looking for a condo, and looking for a home then JC is the way to go.

In New York, Chelsea is the top choice for many gay men. There, the median home price has hit nearly $1,200 per square foot, according to Trulia. That means a modest-sized two-bedroom condo can cost a gay couple more than $1.2 million, an amount that is out of the reach for many home buyers.
A short train ride away, however, is downtown Jersey City, N.J., where many same-sex couples live, according to Trulia. The median price per square foot there is $452, almost one-third of the prices in Manhattan.
For lesbian couples in the New York metro area, the Brooklyn neighborhood of Park Slope, where the average home costs $664 per square foot, is the neighborhood of choice. While significantly cheaper than the Manhattan neighborhoods where many same-sex male couples reside, the prices are still steep. But Nyack, a bucolic Hudson River town about 25 miles north of Midtown Manhattan that is home to a fair number of same-sex couples, is much more affordable at $266 a square foot.CNN
