North Arlington is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 16,457,[10][11] an increase of 1,065 (+6.9%) from the 2010 census count of 15,392,[20][21] which in turn reflected an increase of 211 (+1.4%) from the 15,181 counted in the 2000 census.[22]

As the site of Holy Cross Cemetery, which has interred almost 290,000 individuals since its establishment in 1915, and with another Jewish cemetery including several thousand more burials, North Arlington has almost 20 times more dead people than living, with more burials than the living population of Newark, the state's largest city. Holy Cross has an average of 2,600 interments each year, of which about 65% are burials, with the remainder split between entombment in mausoleums or crypts and burial of cremated remains. Expansion of the mausoleum will bring its capacity to nearly 36,000 interments, with the cemetery's total capacity of about 750,000 expected to last past the year 2090. The cemetery covers 208 acres (84 ha) and was assessed at $185 million, though its non-profit status means that the municipality generates no tax revenue from a property that covers almost an eighth of the borough's land area.[23][24]

North Arlington was ranked eighth by Money magazine on its list of "Best Places to Live 2017", which cited the borough's healthy economy, affordable homes and a high quality of life.[25]

"For every living soul in North Arlington, there are 20 who have ceased to be.... Some 289,600 people are interred in Holy Cross, which sprawls over 208 manicured acres, one-eighth of the borough's area. Several blocks away are several thousand graves in a small Jewish cemetery. That makes North Arlington, population 15,500, the resting place of close to 300,000 people — greater than the population of Newark and equivalent to that of Cincinnati."
