I am so tired of South Jersey getting a bad rap. When I saw this article about the 10 worst places to live in NJ, I cringed because for some reason we are always included.

Roadsnacks.net analyzed every town in the state to find "the worst." Here's the criteria that was used:

  • Good education
  • Lots of jobs
  • Low crime
  • Great weather
  • High incomes
  • Low population density
  • Short work commutes
  • Lots of things to do

When the numbers were crunched, here were the 10 Worst Places in NJ to Live.

  1. Newark
  2. West New York
  3. City of Orange Township
  4. Irvington Township
  5. Union City
  6. Lindenwold
  7. Guttenberg
  8. Madison Park
  9. Berkeley Township
  10. Bridgeton

Get the down and dirty numbers on each town here.
