Living in Villas



Villas is a somewhat small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 9,134 people and three associated neighborhoods, Villas is the 215th largest community in New Jersey.

Another notable thing is that Villas is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Villas’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Villas is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.

The education level of Villas citizens is a little higher than the average for US cities and towns: 23.92% of adults in Villas have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Villas in 2022 was $38,296, which is low income relative to New Jersey, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $153,184 for a family of four. However, Villas contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
