The demographic data is skewed by the presence of a two correctional facilities adjacent to the town. The Wayne County Boot Camp has a capacity of 450 beds, and the South Central Correctional Center of Correction Corporation of America has a maximum capacity of 1,676 beds. While the exact occupancy of these facilities is not readily available, the unincarcerated population of Clifton is approximately 600.
Aside from population, other numbers affected by the prison and boot camp are racial makeup, age distribution, and gender ratios. Compared to other towns in Wayne County, the percentage of African-Americans is disproportionately high. Neither of the facilities host juvenile inmates, so the percentage of Cliftonians under the age of 18 is disproportionately low. Both facilities are all-male, accounting for the extreme female-male ratio mentioned above.
