JERSEY CITY – In a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau detailing the counties with youngest and oldest population, Hudson County is rated as the youngest population, with a median age of 34.8.
Based on median age, the U.S. Census Bureau reported on which counties in New Jersey had the oldest populations and which had the youngest. The U.S. median age ticked up from 37.6 on July 1, 2013, to 37.7 on July 1, 2014.
These estimates examine population changes among groups by age, sex, race and origin nationally, as well as in all states and counties, between April 1, 2010, and July 1, 2014.
The counties in New Jersey with the highest median age on July 1, 2014, were Cape May at 48.6, Hunterdon at 45.5 and Sussex at 43.9. This means that half the population was older than this age and half younger.
