The US World Herald's chief economist Gina Friedman looks at the most recent census data to reveal where most Italian-Americans live today. This is the second part of the report and it will focus on New Jersey. Toms River, a township in Ocean County, is home to the largest Italian-American population in New Jersey — 29,062 to be specific. Brick Township is ranked No.2 on the list, followed by Middleton in Monmouth County.
But the highest chance of you meeting an Italian-American is in Hammonton. Hammonton, a town in Atlantic County, is the most Italian town in New Jersey, in terms of the percentage of residents who claim Italian ancestry. 45.8 of its inhabitants are of Italian ancestry.
