Municipal-level Census data can tell us where the county’s population loss came from.

But what’s publicly available doesn’t tell much more.

Information from the U.S. Census Bureau does provide a litany of statistics for entities over 5,000 people — which means just the City of Warren and the county at large.

Median household income is higher in the county than the city — $50,250 to $42,935 — but the percentage of the population in poverty is higher in the county — 13.5 — than in the city, 12.6.

People living in the city are 2 percent more likely to have a computer in the home and nearly five percent more likely to have a broadband internet subscription. Even still, the city’s rate — 81 percent — lags the state-wide 81.5 percentage.

More people live in a household county-wife than in the city — 2.28 people compared to 2.05 people and county residents are five percent more likely to have been living in the same house a year ago than city residents.

There are 3 percent more women living in the city compared to the county’s rate. The city — by about 4 percent — has fewer seniors living within its borders, as well.

Municipal data — at least yet — doesn’t drill down to that level of detail. It provides population and racial demographics.

Warren County is overwhelmingly white but decade over decade does show some change.

The percentage of the population identified as African American held flat in the county but increased by nearly 100 percent in the City of Warren to a total of 87.

The percentage of those identifying as Hispanic increased 36.1 percent county-wide and 38.9 percent in the City of Warren (125).

Racial demographics are broken into several categories — white, black or African American, American Indian and Alaska native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, Hispanic and “some other race.”

That last category grew by 145.3 percent in Warren County between 2010 and 2020 to a total of 130 individuals.

While Pennsylvania lost a seat in the House of Representatives as a result of the 2020 data, the more significant impact in the county’s 7.7 percent decline will be grant dollars that are allocated based on population.

That issue will be explored in a future story in the Times Observer.
