We've often heard that New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the US, what with over 9 million people crammed into our state, but which one earned the designation as the most densely populated in the entire country? Not surprisingly, the winner is in North Jersey, Hudson County to be exact. The most densely populated town in the country, according to 24/7 Wall St., is Guttenberg. Guttenberg, at only four blocks wide, is the seventh smallest town in the state. It has a population of 11,446, and 59,309 people per square mile.
