NJ people just don't go out of their way to unnecessarily chat you up. No useless small talk. Everyone is busy, gainfully employed, on their way to something important. No one has the time to bullshit with you. This is not a bad thing. It's not rude. Everyone just has better things to do.
On the rare occasion, Jerseyites do decide to chat, it will be a worthwhile conversation, albeit brief.
