I just check the NYC roster and came up with 36 teams with a possible two new rookies for 2006.

Re: What City has the most FIRST teams?
 
More importantly that number of teams per town, I think it is more important to look into a team to high school student ration where both numbers are for city-wide. Although NYC and Toronto have 25+ teams, there student body population has to be well above 1.5 million students. Compare this to a small town with 1 team but only 6000 people in the town. Although a big city has more teams, more students will have access in the smaller town, which is more important in my opinion.

Montclair has two FRC teams running out of our one high school. The high school has a population of around 2000 students and the town only has 13000-14000 total. If you look at it from a team to high school student population ratio, Montclair is 1:1000.

If you open it up to all types of FIRST competitions, then Montclair is boasting 2 FRC teams and 3 FLL teams. With 4500 students approximately in the middle school and high school levels, that works out to 1 team per every 900 students at the proper age to join.
