When the indult Mass started in Jersey City, there were three families with at least four kids (they all have at least five kids now, with one I think having seven). One of them lives in Livingston and the other two, until recently, lived in Jersey City. One still lives in Jersey City and the other moved to NY state. Other young families occasionally attend the TLM in Jersey City, but are not "regulars."

St. Anthony's Chapel in W. Orange has several large families in the congregation. One of the mothers is expecting her 10th child in the next couple of weeks.

Regarding the cost of living, it is true that these families are not living luxurious lives. My parents, as a professor and high school teacher, managed to raise six kids in Short Hills. As the youngest, I received my share of hand-me-down clothes. It can be done. One just needs to know clearly what their priorities are.
