The economic and demographic characteristics of Philadelphia residents have shifted rapidly over the past decade. Population and employment growth, increases in educational attainment, and decreases in the overall poverty rate have all transformed the way our city functions.

Using the most up-to-date data from an array of sources, Philadelphia provides high-level insight into key subjects, allowing users to quickly find the most relevant information to help inform decision-making.
