Population Non-Hispanic White % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — New Jersey

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northern New Jersey's urban corridor—particularly zip codes in and around Newark, Paterson, Jersey City, and Elizabeth—displays notably low non-Hispanic white percentages, often below 20%, forming a dense cluster of dark blue and teal tones along the northeastern metro area. In contrast, the northwestern highlands and rural Sussex/Warren County zip codes skew heavily white, frequently exceeding 80-90%, as do many shore and Pine Barrens communities in Ocean and southern Burlington counties. Central New Jersey presents the most heterogeneous patchwork, with adjacent zip codes in Middlesex and Mercer counties varying dramatically, reflecting the region's mix of diverse suburban communities and predominantly white exurban areas.
