SOUTH JERSEY — The editors of "South Jersey Magazine" recently published their annual "Top Towns" spotlight of many of the municipalities in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties.

The magazine compiles several different lists by crunching data from the New Jersey State Police, the New Jersey Department of Education and New Jersey's Division of Local Government Services as well as criteria that included average property values and taxes, crime incidents reported for every 1,000 residents average SAT scores, graduation rates and more, according to the editors.

Although there can only be one town in the top spot on each list, the other municipalities on the list should not feel ashamed, the editors wrote.
