The population of New Jersey on April 1, 2020 was 9,288,994.

This page contains a directory of publications prepared by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development using data from the 2020 Census. Topics covered include New Jersey population trends 1790-2020, money income and poverty, population by race, and more.

Public Law (P.L.) 94-171, enacted by Congress in December 1975, requires the Census Bureau to provide states the opportunity to identify the small area geography for which they need data in order to conduct legislative redistricting. The law also requires the U.S. Census Bureau to furnish tabulations of population to each state, including for those small areas the states have identified, within one year of Census day.
