Unbelievable: Ocean City Named New Jersey's Most Boring Town

How can America's Happiest Seaside Resort be New Jersey's most boring town? MSN, which features trending news and content, gathered a list of "The Most Boring Town in Every State," giving Ocean City the non-honor in New Jersey.

The list, published Thursday, drew from U.S. Census and American Community Survey data. MSN examined which places have the highest median ages, the fewest things to do and the lowest population density.

"It's essential to note, however, that these towns aren't all boring in the same way; some scored higher because there’s very little to do there while other scored higher because there’s so few people to do anything with," MSN wrote.

MSN cited the following data for Ocean City, with no further explanation:

• Population: 11,328
• Size (square miles): 10.797
• Density (people per square mile): 1,049.18
• Median Age: 53.2
• Percent of Population Over 65: 29.3
• Percent of Family Households: 52.4
• Number of Entertainment spots: 20
• Number of Hotels/Restaurants: 48

Coastal Living Magazine named Ocean City "America's Happiest Seaside Town" last June. The magazine cited boardwalk activities, pale sand beaches and surfing, a family-friendly atmosphere and even the city's annual Baby Parade as reasons Ocean City is so happy.

So maybe Ocean City isn't for everyone, but you can argue that's part of its charm. Here's the full slideshow of "The Most Boring Town In Every State."
