Population boom in Edgmont Township widens Western Delaware County
Preliminary 1980s census results show Edgmont Township population rising from 1410 to 3011, a 114 percent jump, with leaders warning growth will require more staff and possible tax increases. Other western municipalities such as Chester Heights, Birmingham, Bethel, and Thornbury also posted gains, while Concord and Concord’s neighboring areas showed mixed changes. County officials express surprise at the countywide decline from 555,023 to 542,112 and urge further data review before final tabulations to be sent to President Bush.
