	Municipal, County, and Regional Population Estimates, 2000- 2006	No. 86 July 2007

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is an interstate, intercounty and intercity agency that provides comprehensive and coordinated planning for the orderly growth of the Delaware Valley region. As the region's metropolitan planning organization (MPO), the Commission provides technical assistance and services to its member state, county and local governments, the private sector and the public. Delaware Valley Data is our periodic series of free data bulletins and analytical reports. The DVRPC region includes five southeastern Pennsylvania counties (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia) and four southern New Jersey counties (Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer). The Commission's extended data services area includes the Commission's nine member counties as well as 19 adjacent counties in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania (see map on page 3).

This data bulletin contains population estimates as of July 1, 2006, for municipalities located within DVRPC's 28- county extended data services area, as released by the United States Census Bureau on June 28, 2007. This bulletin replaces Data Bulletin #84 (Municipal, County, and Regional Population Estimates, 2000-2005), released in July 2006. The Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program (PEP) produces July 1st estimates for years following the last published decennial census (2000), and, in many cases, simultaneously revises annual estimates released in previous years. Existing data series such as births, deaths, federal tax returns, medicare enrollment, and immigration are used to update the decennial census base counts. PEP estimates are used in federal funding allocations, in setting the levels of national surveys, and in monitoring recent demographic changes.

Table 1 summarizes information for the 9-county DVRPC region, while Table 2 and Table 3 identify the twenty fastest-growing municipalities in the DVRPC region by percent change and absolute change, respectively. Table 4 provides data by county and metropolitan statistical area, and Table 5 provides population estimates for minor civil divisions (MCDs) in New Jersey and Pennsylvania (where MCDs serve as general-purpose local governments) and for incorporated places in Delaware and Maryland.

AREA DEFINITIONS
In addition to providing data for the 9-county DVRPC region and its extended data services area, this data bulletin aggregates data as per the definitions of statistical areas issued by the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in December 2006. The OMB defines Metropolitan, Micropolitan, and Combined Statistical Areas; New England City and Town Areas; and Metropolitan Divisions, for use in Federal statistical analyses. These areas are updated annually to reflect changes in the population, based on the Census Bureau's Population Estimates program. Comparisons of this data with regional information issued earlier than 2006 should be made with caution, but can be accomplished by aggregating individual county data.

The Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) consists of the Philadelphia, PA Metropolitan Division; the Camden, NJ Metropolitan Division; and the Wilmington, DE-MD-NJ Metropolitan Division.

The Philadelphia, PA Metropolitan Division consists of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania. Page 2

The Camden, NJ Metropolitan Division consists of Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester counties in New Jersey.

The Wilmington, DE-MD-NJ Metropolitan Division consists of New Castle County, Delaware; Cecil County, Maryland; and Salem County, NJ.

The Trenton-Ewing MSA consists of Mercer County, New Jersey.

HIGHLIGHTS:

The population of the nine-county DVRPC region increased by almost 110,000 people (2%) between 2000 and 2006, with the greatest percentage increases realized in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Gloucester County, New Jersey.

Of the DVRPC region's nine counties, only Philadelphia saw its population decline, losing more than 65,000 people over the 6-year period (about 4%). Between 2000 and 2006, the City of Philadelphia's share of the region's population declined from 28% to 26%. The Census Bureau often under-counts urban populations, however, and at least a part of this apparent decline may be due to under-estimation.

By percent, the fastest growing municipality in the Delaware Valley region between 2000 and 2006 (and, in fact, the fastest growing municipality in the entire 28-county extended data services area) was Woolwich Township (Gloucester County, New Jersey), which experienced a population increase of more than 170%. Woolwich Township also realized the greatest absolute increase in population of any of the DVRPC region's municipalities, gaining more than 5,400 residents.

The population of the Philadelphia MSA (which, unlike the DVRPC region, excludes Mercer County, New Jersey but includes Salem County, New Jersey; Cecil County, Maryland; and New Castle County, Delaware) increased by approximately 2% between 2000 and 2006 (representing a gain of almost 133,000 residents).

The fastest growing counties within DVRPC's 28-county extended data services area between 2000 and 2006 were Kent County (Delaware) and Cecil County (Maryland), with population increases of 16% and 15%, respectively. Other fast-growing counties included Chester County (Pennsylvania), which realized an increase of 11% over the six-year period, and Gloucester County (New Jersey) and Harford County (Maryland), which both realized increases of 10%.

Among all municipalities and incorporated areas in DVRPC's 28-county extended services area, Jackson Township (Ocean County, New Jersey) experienced the greatest absolute increase in population between 2000 and 2006, gaining over 8,900 residents. Jackson Township was followed closely by Lakewood Township (also in Ocean County), which gained almost 8,700 residents. By percent, Woolwich Township's 171% increase was followed by Penn Township (Chester County, PA), which realized an 81% increase in population; Hallam Borough (York County, PA), with a 79% increase; and Lebanon Borough (Hunterdon County, NJ), which saw its population increase by 70% during the six-year time period.

NOTES:

New Morgan Borough was formed from portions of Robeson and Caernavon townships in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

Birmingham Township, Delaware County, officially changed its name to Chadds Ford Township in January 1997.

Wyomissing Hills Borough (Berks County) was disincorporated in 2002, and its population is now included in the count for Wyomissing Borough.

This data bulletin was created from the latest electronic files available from the Census Bureau and may include data which has been updated from previously published data bulletins.
