Bernie, is it not true that the Census straits with known factors ? Well we could come up with more than 1% here in Easton ,School District does not report to City Any feedback on address declaration. The city doesn’t cross reference regularl parking viiolations against tax or residency declarations. And so forth .Easton most likely has 4 ,ooo people here that hide in the cracks for various reasons.
And yet Pennsylvania's population is stagnant.
These "increases" reflect the internal movement within the Keystone state.
Allentown's population growth has been negligible for the past 60 years. There is really no where to grow within it's boundaries. Growth has always occurred in the townships and outlying towns.
Allentown will have 1 less person to count when FedEd Pawlowski goes to jail. Saw him walking the streets on Saturday during the blues, brews and BBQ event. Standing in a food line, looking depressed and all alone.
Many of the people are not in census. The overpopulated apartment conversions with illegal people living in apartments. One person rents and then 20 others move in. Also we know who has moved in the NJ and NY, many are under the radar,
Tragic...what can you do? Cement plants poisoning the air, quarries and fracking poison ground water, drugs, opiates, bad food, runoff pesticides, fluoride, bad transportation systems, no jobs, no recreation, free army rides out of town, we try everything, but they just keep coming.
Now that Monsanto merged with Bayer,(the makers of zyklon-b) maybe they'll come up with something that will help.
5:34 Can always move. WaWa sells gas 24 hours a day and there are roads in all four directions. Hit the road to a better life.
