Official Site of The State of New JerseyPopulation and Household Estimates
This page contains intercensal population estimates data for New Jersey. Data are provided for the state, metropolitan areas, counties and municipalities. Population estimates are updated annually. In the process of preparing current year estimates, previous years' data (since the latest decennial census) were also revised. The current estimates supersede previously published estimates.
The U.S. Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program (PEP) produces estimates of the population of the United States, its states, counties, cities, and towns, as well as for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its municipios. Demographic components of population change (births, deaths and migration) are produced at the national, state and county levels of geography.

This section contains state-to-state and county-to-county migration files provided by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Statistics of Income (SOI) Division. The migration data are available for inflows (the number of new residents who moved to a State or county and where they migrated from) and outflows (the number of residents leaving a State or county and where they went). Migration data are based on the population of Forms 1040 that were filed and processed by the IRS. Tax returns are matched for two consecutive calendar years based on the filer’s taxpayer identification number (TIN) to determine their migration status.

The State-to-State migration flows is part of a product series the Census releases yearly. The State-to-State migration flows utilize ACS (American Community Survey) and PRCS (Puerto Rico Community Survey) and ask respondents if they live in the same residence they did a year ago. For respondents who have moved the previous residence is collected, and the results are created from a cross tabulation of where they currently live from their previous residence the year before. More information can be found on the Census’s website: (https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/state-to-state-migration-flows.html).
The rows in each table represent the state of current residence and the columns represent the state of residence 1 year ago. The cells where the current residence and residence 1 year ago are the same are the estimated number of people who moved within the state.
