Western Pennsylvania counties show uneven growth despite overall rise
Census estimates indicate Lawrence County and nearby areas grew modestly from 2008 to 2009 while most municipalities in Lawrence County declined. The eastern and western parts of the state diverge, with Western Pennsylvania showing faster growth in some counties like Butler, Mercer, and Beaver, while others lag behind amid industrial decline and aging populations. The trend raises questions about state policy and economic strategy moving forward.
