Population Density
The historical population data for the Pennsylvania Newmanstown area with ZIP code 17073 shows a consistent growth trend from 2010 to 2022, with the population increasing from 5,842 to 6,595 over the 12-year period. The population density has also increased from 211.44 people per square mile in 2010 to 238.69 people per square mile in 2022.
Given the ZIP code's size of 27.63 square miles and the 2022 population density of 238.69 people per square mile, the area can be classified as rural. Rural areas typically have population densities between 50 and 500 people per square mile and are characterized by larger living spaces, ranging from 1 to 5 acres, fewer public services, and lower infrastructure density.
The lifestyle in rural areas is generally community-oriented, often centered around local schools and small businesses, with activities such as hobby farming, horse ownership, and significant outdoor activities. The estimated housing units corresponding to the 2022 population is 2,526.82, based on the national average household size of 2.61.
The consistent population growth and the relatively low population density suggest that the area has been experiencing a gradual increase in urban development activity over the years. However, the development is likely to be more focused on maintaining the rural character of the area, with larger lot sizes and a focus on preserving open spaces and natural resources.
As the population continues to grow, the area may experience increased demand for public services and infrastructure, such as schools, healthcare facilities, and transportation networks. However, the rural nature of the area may limit the extent of urban development, as residents are likely to prioritize maintaining the community-oriented lifestyle and access to outdoor activities.
