According to a recent New Jersey Family list of New Jersey's Best Towns for Families, Oradell is the highest ranked North Jersey town and second overall in New Jersey for family living.
Of the 565 municipalities in New Jersey, New Jersey Family eliminated those with populations less than 1,500, due to unsubstantial data. For the remaining 512 municipalities, they collected data for average home sale prices (NJ Division of Taxation), crime rates (NJ Department of Law and Public Safety), public school district rankings (Great Schools), median household income (US Census), percentage of families with children under the age of 18 (US Census), mean travel time to work (US Census), number of restaurants (Yelp), number of hospitals within 10 miles (Health Grades) and number of grocery/convenience stores within 5 miles (Yelp). Based on the aggregated data for each of the 512 municipalities, they developed an algorithm to determine the 2015 rankings.
Bergen County has four towns in the state-wide top 10 list, with Oradell in 2nd, Closter in 5th, Harrington Park in 6th and Demarest taking the 10th spot.
