Methodology & notes
Live NJDG District + Subordinate Courts pendency snapshot (point-in-time, not end-of-year), scraped from the portal, ÷ Census 2011 state population × 1,000. The fixed Census 2011 denominator makes the rate exactly reproducible but ages over time, so recent values run slightly high.
