Palmer Township, Hanover Township and Hellertown Borough are fighting neck and neck for second place, with 20% of their population in the near death category.
Community Development Administrator Lori Sywensky provided Northampton County Council with this and a few other tidbits yesterday.
* Impoverished female-headed households are at 78.6% in Stockertown, but only at 4.3% in Bethlehem Township.
* Outside of the cities, Stockertown, Tatamy, Wanutport, Pen Argyl, Bath and Northampton have the highest percentages of minority residents living in poverty.
* In Glendon and Tatamy, 81% of the homes are owner-occupied.
* Nazareth leads the County in rental units, at 52%. (Wind Gap is close behind, at 51.3%).
* Median values of Northampton County homes have risen from $120,000, in 2000, to $214,600 in 2010.
* The going rate for a 2-bedroom apartment in Northampton County is $954 per month.
Was Sywensky helping Council members excel in their next round of Trivia? No, she was explaining a 5-year plan for CDBG grants throughout the County

When callahan takes over he will replace LS with an action figure. Probably chunks the so called environmental person. JC is very green minded
I suspect an action figure would give Macaulay a run for his money, in the IQ department.
The Nazareth Diner looks like God's waiting room at 4:00 PM each day. Obamataxcare Death Panels are going to rock Nazzy's demographic. Obamataxcare already took Depends off the allowable list for pretax medical spending accounts, and there was your first tax increase on the leaky elderly. With seniors having to ask tbeir Depends to hold a few extra ounces to make ends meet, don't complain about easy to sanitize vinyl seats.

I wonder if Gracedale's residents get lumped in with Nazareth population?
Obamacare/Romneycare it all is and will be the same. Nothing will change in the fall regardless of who gets elected.
No. That's Upper nazareth.
But Moravian Hall Square is in Nazareth; that's many hundreds of chronologically challenged citizens.
You're right. Alexandria Manor, too.
callahan will clean a lot of clocks when he runs the place. Estimate 125 union pukes out the door along with at least 75 management hangerons. can't wait to see the wailing crybabies carrying thier stuff out of the building. "I love a parade..........."
This explains a lot.
You better beleive it!
