What is the size of the gay population of New Jersey?
It is impossible to pinpoint the gay population of any particular area. However, the U.S. Census Bureau has surveyed the number of households with same-sex unmarried partners in both 2000 and 1990. The Census Bureau on Aug. 6, 2002, released Summary File 3, listing 18,228 New Jersey households containing same-sex unmarried partners. Of those households, 8,858 were couples of two men, and 9,370 were couples of two women. More detailed reports on New Jersey same-sex households are available by County or Place (municipality or locality). Also, see the Census Technical Note on Same-Sex Unmarried Partner Data From the 1990 and 2000 Censuses.
