Asbury Park, New Jersey
This is a relatively poor city. The typical household in Asbury Park earns only $39,324 a year, which is $18,000 less than what a typical American household earns. To make things even worse, there are high costs of living in Asbury Park, which makes the low-income residents struggle even further.
Asbury Park is located in the broader New York City metro area, which is famously one of the most expensive regions of the country. Unfortunately, goods and services are 22.4 percent more expensive than in other parts of the country, which enhanced certain food insecurity among the citizens of Asbury Park.
