Getting a higher count would be great for state and federal aid, grants and the like. But once again, Healy doesn't see the bigger picture. Many of the reasons Jersey City was undercounted apply to Newark as well. It is extremely unlikely he's going to find 30,000 people here who weren't counted and even less likely Newark doesn't have a number as large as ours they could add to their total.

The windows are dark because the residents were told to draw their shades lest they see Jersey City.

I know you are, but what am I? About 75% of the windows of these buildings are dark on any evening at around 8pm, including blocks of consecutive floors which are completely dark. If they are largely occupied, then they must have been sold to sufferers of Xeroderma Pigmentosum. Or the Amish.

I see can Trump and Crystal Point from my living room, which offers a better view than driving by. I say they are largely empty because most units are dark at night. The same with 77 Hudson and the adjoining rental building. I understand that not everyone is home at the same time, but let's be real, these places are not close to being fully inhabited, regardless of what the sales offices claim.

"But many downtown condo buildings are still largely empty."
What are you talking about? Crystal Point is at least 75% sold as is Trump. 13 more units were sold at Trump last month. Drive by at night and the lights are on in apartments from the bottom to the Penthouses. What buildings are largely empty? However, I agree that we are hugely undercounted by the census.

I would guess that most renters do not even open their census forms. But many downtown condo buildings are still largely empty. Combine this with the fact that Healy often sees double and it is tough to get an accurate headcount here.

You aren't the only one to think Jersey City was undercounted...
Jersey City plans to appeal Census figures as "too low," hopes to pass Newark as state's largest city Friday, February 04, 2011 Vying to overtake Newark as the state's biggest municipality, Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy plans to appeal Census data released yesterday that has his city stuck in second place. http://www.nj.com/news/jjournal/jerse ... 29678631864530.xml&coll=3 Its actually a good bet the city was undercounted. Many of the new high rises didn't initially get new census forms, so they had much less time to respond.

Just can't stay away

This is pretty decent i guess. We did still grow but it surely wasn't what i expected. I figured we would reach 260,000 by this census, so i overshot by 13k, I have to admit i didn't expect Newark to grow but that is just as good. Just sucks we wont be the biggest city still
 . I think we could have reached the number above if some people did stay. Our population grew but we still had a good amount of people leaving the city. WE need more entertainment in this city. I honestly think that will help keep people to stay here, and would help people overlook the negatives of this city. Not that we will just forget about it, just that the positive of having much entertainment would out weigh the negatives. Still, im happy we grew but 3k short of being in the 250,00 categories.......DAMN!!!!! That's like getting a 97 on a test lol

Jersey City's census data keeps us at the second largest city in the state, but grew at a faster rate than Newark (277,000)
