Middlesex County has about 150,700 residents of Asian Indian descent, up about 13% from the 2015–2019 survey [1][2]. That is 17.3% of the county, about one resident in six (our calculation) [1][3].
Our database reaches just part of that community. It places 340 people in the county at $1M+, and 65 at $5M+ [8]. Coverage here is partial, and the gap between the Census count and our count is the main finding.

What the HeyAlbert database shows in Middlesex County, New Jersey
HeyAlbert builds profiles of Indian-American individuals with an estimated net worth of $1M or more from public records, and every estimate is tied to a cited source. Our database currently places 340 such people in Middlesex County, New Jersey [8]. That is a count of people we have found and estimated, not a census of wealthy households: our coverage is partial and uneven.
| Estimated net-worth band | People in our database |
|---|---|
| $1M–5M | 275 |
| $5M–15M | 53 |
| $25M+ (probable) | <25 |
| $25M+ (likely) | <25 |
| Total, $1M+ | 340 |
Source: HeyAlbert database [8]. Bands are estimates from public evidence; “likely” and “probable” describe our confidence in the $25M+ tier. Cells under 25 are suppressed.
| City | $1M+ | of which $5M+ | of which $25M+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edison | 106 | <25 | <25 |
| Monroe | 71 | <25 | <25 |
Source: HeyAlbert database [8]. Cities with 25+ people at $1M+; cells under 25 shown as <25. The city is where our sources place the person; for some records it is a workplace rather than a home. Cities in our database are matched by name to the Census places and townships in the county; a few that straddle a county line are counted whole, and large cities that extend well beyond the county are left out.
Edison has 106 people in our set at $1M+, and fewer than 25 of them at $5M+ [8]. Monroe has 71 [8]. Our $25M+ bands hold fewer than 25 people across the county [8]. Most people in our set, 275, are in the $1M–5M band [8].
Why our Middlesex County, New Jersey count looks the way it does
Each estimate in our database rests on a primary piece of public evidence. The mix differs from place to place, depending on which records we have been able to process, and it shapes the counts above more than any real difference in wealth does [8].
| Primary evidence for the estimate | People | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Home value (public assessor or listing records) | 120 | 35% |
| Patent inventors (with company context) | 93 | 27% |
| Other public signals (executive roles, company filings, gifts, pay) | 68 | 20% |
| Professional license | 51 | 15% |
Source: HeyAlbert database [8], people at $1M+. Categories under 25 not shown.
The evidence mix is varied. Home values support 120 of our 340 estimates, patents 93, professional licenses 51 and other public signals 68 [8]. Patents come close to home values as a source here [8].
What it means if you work with these families
For advisors and nonprofits, Middlesex County is a large, dense community where public wealth signals are still sparse. Edison is the clearest starting point in our data.
Methodology
Census figures are American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2020–2024 and 2015–2019, Table B02018, using “Asian Indian, alone or in any combination” [1][2]. Total population comes from Table B01003 [3]. The Census Bureau changed how it codes detailed race responses in 2020, so part of the change between the two periods may reflect coding rather than migration. All estimates carry margins of error. Shares and growth rates are our calculations.
HeyAlbert counts are aggregates from our database as of October 2026 [8]. They include people we identified as likely of Indian origin with an estimated net worth of $1M or more, based on public records such as property assessments, professional licenses, patents, SEC filings and donor rolls. Coverage is partial and depends on which public records exist and which we have processed. These counts are not population totals. Any cell under 25 is suppressed, and we publish aggregates only, never individual records.
