==Demographic characteristics==
As of the 2010 United States Census, the district had a population of 215,874, of whom 160,293 (74.3%) were of voting age. The racial makeup of the district was 169,062 (78.3%) White, 7,645 (3.5%) African American, 295 (0.1%) Native American, 27,528 (12.8%) Asian, 59 (0.0%) Pacific Islander, 6,450 (3.0%) from some other race, and 4,835 (2.2%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 22,856 (10.6%) of the population.〔(DP-1: Profile of General Population and Housing Characteristics: 2010 - 2010 Demographic Profile Data for General Assembly District 16 (2010) ), United States Census Bureau. Accessed January 30, 2014.〕 The district had 145,324 registered voters as of November 2013, of whom 70,383 (48.4%) were registered as Unaffiliated, 40,126 (27.6%) were registered as Democrats, 34,643 (23.8%) were registered as Republicans and 172 (0.1%) were registered to other parties.〔(Statewide Voter Registration Summary ), New Jersey Department of State, November 28, 2013. Accessed January 30, 2014.〕
Home ownership was high as was the percentage of college graduates. District residents were comparatively wealthy, with high incomes and property values that have resulted in low municipal and other property taxes. The district has low numbers of African-Americans, the elderly and poor children. Prior to the 2011 apportionment, registered Republicans outnumbered Democrats by a 2 to 1 margin.〔(District 16 Profile ), Rutgers University. Accessed June 26, 2010.〕 Despite the new shift in favor of registered Democrats, Republicans continue to hold a strong grip to winning elections; the 16th District has only elected Republican legislators since the district's creation in 1973, one of only two in the state to have only elected Republicans (the 40th District is the other).
