Data by County

Between 2025-2060, the SJ transfer of wealth will be $464.8 billion across all 8 counties. 

This Transfer of Wealth study measures the total wealth in each Southern Jersey county and then determines how much of this wealth will likely be transferred over the next 40 years, to the next generation. TOW is constructed using projected CNW and mortality rates by age. Potential charitable bequests are constructed assuming a 5% capture rate, standard in the studies of transfer of wealth.

Rutgers University has created scenarios for each Southern Jersey County. Read below to learn more about the estimated total population, its current net worth and the impact of leaving just 5% to charity over the next 5, 15 and 40 years, and the perpetual income stream that could be created if these assets were endowed.
