Analysis# New Jersey Population Analysis
New Jersey's population of 9.34 million in 2024 positions it as the 11th most populous state, growing 6.26% over the past decade—a rate that significantly lags the nation's ~7.4% growth. The state's peak growth occurred in the 1910s, reflecting its industrial expansion and immigration patterns; however, its current decade-over-decade growth suggests demographic stagnation relative to Sun Belt competitors. This 6.26% growth places New Jersey below median state performance, indicating potential outmigration or lower natural increase rates compared to faster-growing states.
