Section Eight
RESORT
MUNICIPALITIES
As required by P.L. 1998, c. 50, annual mean population estimates for resort municipalities in New
Jersey have been used in the preparation of per capita crime statistics.
These estimates were prepared based upon the methodology prescribed in P.L. 1998, c. 50 using the
latest available municipality estimates of year-round population from the U.S. Bureau of the Census. Please
note that these resort population estimates should only be used for crime statistics purposes. While they
fulfill the requirements of the law, the seasonal components of these estimates are not a complete
measure of seasonal population because they include only those living in rental housing units or in vacant
year-round housing. Not counted are the many day visitors and persons who occupy campgrounds, hotels,
motels or bed and breakfast establishments or who stay with friends or relatives.
+ Crime rates were not computed for municipalities with populations under 100.
