A spokesman for the Robert Dekanski Team, which did the study, commented:

“New Jersey is known to be one of the more expensive states to live in, so it is interesting to see which areas of the state have the lowest cost of living. So many factors contribute to an area's affordability, and there is much to consider when moving or buying a house. The price of a home isn’t the only aspect to think about, as many things like childcare, taxes, food, and transportation costs can contribute to your living expenses. Knowing which factors will affect you the most is imperative if you plan on relocating.”
