Pike County’s population has been steadily increasing for decades.  With Pike County’s proximity to the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area, many new residents continue to recognize the quality of life and affordable housing costs in making their decision to relocate in Pike County.   In fact, the US Census Bureau reported that Pike County was the 36^th fastest growing county in the nation between 1990 and 2000.  Due to this growth rate, the County closely monitors and assesses growth patterns as it relates to population, housing, economic development and income.  These demographic assessments assist municipal and County officials in understanding future needs as well as an understanding of the impacts that a growing population has on existing infrastructure, services and the overall quality of life.

The Pike County Office of Community Planning also provides population, housing, economic, and other census related information for public use and for comprehensive planning purposes at both the County and municipal levels.   A sample of these demographic assessments can be accessed by clicking the links below.  Detailed demographic assessments can be accessed by viewing the Pike County Comprehensive Plan while specific needs can be obtained by calling or e-mailing our Office.
