Travel Info When they do a census report on the population of Philadelphia, does it include the population of Delaware Valley (Philadelphia Metro)? Travel Tips Census data for the Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) will include the Delaware valley, more or less. The Philadelphia MSA information includes Philadelphia and surrounding counties and places that are economically linked to Philadelphia. So according to the census website, The Philadelphia MSA includes parts of PA, NJ, DE, and Cecil County in MD. Here's the full list of what areas are included in the Philadelphia-Camden_Wilmington... PA-NJ-DE-MD Metropolitan Statistical Area: 37980 15804 34005 Burlington County, NJ 37980 15804 34007 Camden County, NJ 37980 15804 34015 Gloucester County, NJ 37980 37964 42017 Bucks County, PA 37980 37964 42029 Chester County, PA 37980 37964 42045 Delaware County, PA 37980 37964 42091 Montgomery County, PA 37980 37964 42101 Philadelphia County, PA 37980 48864 10003 New Castle County, DE 37980 48864 24015 Cecil County, MD 37980 48864 34033 Salem County, NJ You can view this information here: http://www.census.gov/population/estimat... So while it isn't labeled "The Delaware Valley" by the census, it roughly translates to "that area around Philly" which is what we usually mean when we say "Delaware Valley". So to find the population of the Philadelphia MSA you go to the census website American Fact Finder and find that it was 6,188,463 people for the 2000 census. I hope this helps. Others No, just the city proper. It's broken down into Counties, so no. |
