Regional Setting The counties of Lehigh and Northampton together comprise 726 square miles and are located in the central eastern portion of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The region, referred to as the Lehigh Valley, is bounded on the north by Blue Mountain, on the east by the Delaware River and on the south by the Lehigh Mountain Range, known as South Mountain. To the west, the plain breaks into low, rolling hills that rise to form a divide between lands drained by the Lehigh and Schuylkill rivers. The region is located within 300 miles of several large metropolitan areas of the eastern United States, including Pittsburgh, Boston, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. and is particularly accessible to Philadelphia and New York City. The two counties form the core of a metropolitan area defined by the Bureau of the Census as the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Metropolitan Statistical Area (ABE MSA). Carbon County in Pennsylvania and Warren County in New Jersey are also part of the MSA. The Lehigh and Northampton county area contains three cities (Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton), 27 boroughs and 32 townships.

Regional Context
Environment Two major rivers flow through the region, the Lehigh and the Delaware. The Coplay, Jordan and Little Lehigh creeks in the west, the Saucon Creek in the south, and the Hokendauqua, Monocacy, Bushkill and Martin creeks in the north, all drain into the Lehigh or Delaware rivers. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has designated the majority of the region’s streams as High Quality-Cold Water Fishes and Cold Water Fishes. All 62 municipalities in the region have some floodplain areas. Wetlands are found in every municipality, but the largest concentrations occur in Upper Mt. Bethel Township and along the base of Blue Mountain in both counties. The topography ranges from elevated regions along the northern edge of the area and along a line just south of the three cities to the relatively flat, undulating terrain of the central portion of the Lehigh Valley. The largest areas of steep slope are found on Blue Mountain and South Mountain. Carbonate bedrock (limestone) underlies nearly all of the areas where urban development has taken place. The Lehigh Valley includes 123 Natural Heritage Areas, containing rare, threatened and endangered species or outstanding natural communities. The region contains approximately 333 miles of open trails or trail networks. Some of the largest open trails include the Appalachian Trail and the Delaware & Lehigh Trail, both of which continue outside the Lehigh Valley. The areas having the largest agricultural easements include Heidelberg, Lynn and Weisenberg townships in Lehigh County and Upper Mt. Bethel and Plainfield townships in Northampton County. A total of about 35,340 acres are in agricultural easements in the Valley.

Population Since 1900, the Lehigh Valley population has grown from 193,580 people to 647,232, an increase of about 70% through 2010. Over the last several decades, the Lehigh Valley region has experienced sustained population increases. From 1980 to 2000, the decennial growth rate remained fairly steady, with a rate of 8.1% from 1980 to 1990 and 7.6% from 1990 to 2000. However, between 2000 and 2010, the Valley experienced a much higher growth rate (11.8%, or approximately 68,000 residents). This growth rate exceeded both the state’s growth rate of 3.4% and the 9.7% rate for the nation between 2000 and 2010. Population projections prepared by the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission in 2012 indicate continued population increases through 2040. From the projections, the Valley is expected to add almost 230,000 residents over the thirty year period, bringing the total population to approximately 874,000.

Lehigh Valley Profile and Trends
LEHIGH COUNTY
Government The Pennsylvania Constitution provides that the State Legislature classify local governments according to population. Lehigh and Northampton counties are each Third Class Pennsylvania Counties, since their populations according to the 2010 U.S. Census were between 250,000 and 500,000 people. Both counties adopted Home Rule charters in 1978, which provide for nine-member elected legislative bodies and elected county executives. The two counties contain 62 incorporated municipalities. Lehigh County has 25 and Northampton County has 38; the City of Bethlehem lies within both counties. Across the two counties are three cities, 27 boroughs and 32 townships in total. The three cities are classified as third class cities, as defined by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania based on their populations, all below 250,000. The 32 townships are either first or second class. In the Lehigh Valley, only five townships are first class: Lower Macungie, Salisbury, South Whitehall and Whitehall (all in Lehigh County) and Bethlehem Township (in Northampton County). While the core requirement for first class townships is a minimum population density of 300 persons per square mile, many more densely populated townships have elected to remain second class. Other forms of local government in the Lehigh Valley include 17 school districts and various specific, public purpose authorities.
