Pennsylvania Population



New population projections produced by the Pennsylvania State Data Center reveal that the Keystone State’s 2010 Census population of 12.7 million is projected to grow to 14.1 million by the year 2040. This represents a growth rate of 11.3 percent or the addition of more than 1.4 million residents over the thirty year period.


The projections also suggest that the age makeup of Pennsylvania’s population will, on average, continue to grow older over the next three decades. The largest percentage increases will be seen in the 5-year age cohorts over age 65. Click here to read more about the projections in the PaSDC's latest Research Brief.


Population Projections were completed for the years 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035 and 2040 for the Commonwealth and its 67 counties. These projections were developed by five-year age cohorts and gender. Data users wishing to purchase PDF file profiles and excel data files of the PaSDC’s State and County Population Projections by Age and Gender, Pennsylvania: 2010 to 2040 can do so by visiting http://pasdc.hbg.psu.edu/, click on Data, then Projections.

Chester County followed with a 2.1 percent gain since 2010. Lancaster County (2.0 percent percent) ranked third in terms of percent population increase, followed by Clinton and Philadelphia counties, which each grew at 1.8 percent during the period.

With respect to numerical growth, Philadelphia County added 27,159 people between 2010 and 2013, more than any other county in the state. It was followed by Montgomery County, which grew by 12,503 people, Chester (10,342), Lancaster (10,152) and Allegheny (8,179) rounded out the top five.

These newspaper articles by Dr. Appel cover a wide range oflocal activities and events. There is no index and the table of contents is very long; the article titles are also long. To help
researchers to save time when looking for a specific subject, this "demi-index"sorts the articles by major subject categories and gives a short label, leaving to the individual to read enough of the article to check for usefulness. We hope this will make the collection more helpful. For history buffs, the articles are interesting and often fun, and give an insight into the activities and interests ofMomoe  County people over the years.
