7 Demographics The following information was provided to the Task Force in order to give an overview of the trends in population, education, and economics, in Lower Saucon and throughout the Lehigh Valley. This data, in combination with the local land use analysis and regional development analysis, gave an overview to the types of markets and target audiences that exist and are emerging. Further it provided insight into the types of improvements (infrastructure, policy changes) that are needed to accompany these trends. Population In 2010, Lower Saucon Township had a population of 10,772, an 8.98% increase in the population from As seen in the table provided below, the population in the entire region continues to grow. While Lower Saucon continues to see consistent growth, Northampton and Lehigh counties both saw greater population increases in the ten-year period from 2000 to TABLE 1 Total Population Lower Saucon Township, Northampton and Lehigh County Percent Change Lower Saucon 8,448 9,884 10, Northampton County 247, , , Lehigh County 291, , , Source: US Census Bureau 43

8 Age There is much discussion on the aging of the national population as Baby Boomers (born ) are entering their 50 s and 60 s. This large population cohort has great effects not only on demographic data, such as median age, but also on economic trends, such as health care, recreation, and housing. This aging trend is also seen here in the Lehigh Valley. Lower Saucon had an 11.7% increase in median age from 2000 until The median age in Lower Saucon was 41.1 in 2000 and increased to 45.9 in Northampton County s median age was 38.5 in 2000 and 40.9 in 2010; an increase of only 6.2%. Median age in Lehigh County increased 2.8%, going from 38.3 in 2000 to 39.4 in Table 2, seen below, compares the age of the Lower Saucon population cohorts in 2000 to those in The cohort with the greatest growth, was 85 and older, which saw an increase of over 142%. The age group had the second highest increase with an increase of 73.77% and was third with a 40.19% increase. The age cohorts with the greatest decrease in population were the 25-34, the Under 5, and the groups. Table 2 gives us a very clear picture of the population trends Lower Saucon is growing older. All age groupings over age 45 saw an increase in population from 2000 to TABLE 2 Population by Age and Percent Change Lower Saucon Township Age Percent Change Under

9 Age Percent Change and over TOTAL 9,884 10, Source: US Census Bureau Using Table 1, Population by Age and Sex, Lower Saucon Township, and Table 2, above, we can get a more detailed breakdown of the most recent population counts, based on the 2010 Census data. The age group has the greatest number of people, 998, with the number of females exceeding the number of males. Although the 85 and older age cohort contains the fewest number of people, the age cohort of contains the next fewest, with

11 Households and Housing Occupancy Housing data provides a reference for many of the economic factors we will analyze. It covers a variety of issues, such as number of households, size of households, family types, number of housing units, etc. This can provide a guide for the type of housing units that we will see be developed and for what type of fee-structure (rent/own), as well as what types of family compositions are becoming more prominent and more obsolete. The Census Bureau provides data for families and for households. Household data includes information for all people living in one housing or dwelling unit, regardless of relationship. A family includes two or more people living in the same dwelling or housing unit related by birth, marriage, or adoption. The majority of demographic studies focus on households. However for purposes of this economic study, while we will focus on household type and size, we do address the family unit as this is the primary make-up of Lower Saucon households. This information will be of importance when we study income and look to identify consumers and purchasing power. As seen below, in Table 3, the number of households in Lower Saucon has steadily increased since However, at the same time, we can see that Lower Saucon saw a decrease in the percentage of family households and an increase in the percentage of non-family households. The percentage of oneperson households has also increased from 1990 to Further, while the number of households, both family and nonfamily, has increased, the average household size and the average family size have both decreased. The decrease in household and family size is also seen at the state and national level. 47

We can see from Chart 2 below that the numbers observed in Lower Saucon are on par with the County averages. The average household size in Lower Saucon is 2.60, Northampton County is 2.53, and Lehigh County is Average family households are greater in size than average household size, but again, not much of a difference is seen in comparing Lower Saucon with that of the counties. Lower Saucon has an average family size of 2.99, Northampton County is 3.02, and Lehigh County is
