THAT IS THE QUESTION THAT A RECENT REPORT BY WTAJ ANSWERED. THE REPORT SHOWS THAT COUNTIES IN PA. ARE GAINING POPULATIONS BASED ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS INCLUDING QUALITY OF LIFE, RENT PRICES, JOB OPPPORTUNITIES. THE INFORMATION WAS TAKEN FROM THE U.S. CENSUS FROM 2010-2020. OF THE 10 FASTEST GROWING COUNTIES, 9 ARE EAST OF CENTRE COUNTY WITH ONLY ALLEGHENY COUNTY BEING FROM THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE, IT CAME IN AT NUMBER 8. THE OTHER 9 COUNTIES FROM 10-1 INCLUDE DAUPHIN..BUCKS..CUMBERLAND..YORK..LEHIGH..LANCASTER CHESTER..MONTOGOMERY AND THE TOP GROWING COUNTY…PHILADELPHIA. BLAIR COUNTY DID NOT MAKE THE TOP 50 COUNTIES FOR GROWTH ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION.
