About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Philadelphia population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Philadelphia across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Philadelphia was 1.55 million, a 1.04% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Philadelphia population was 1.57 million, a decline of 1.43% compared to a population of 1.59 million in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Philadelphia increased by 36,868. In this period, the peak population was 1.6 million in the year 2020. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

Context

The dataset tabulates the Philadelphia population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Philadelphia across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2022, the population of Philadelphia was 1,567,258, a 1.40% decrease year-by-year from 2021. Previously, in 2021, Philadelphia population was 1,589,480, a decline of 0.69% compared to a population of 1,600,600 in 2020. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2022, population of Philadelphia increased by 53,584. In this period, the peak population was 1,600,600 in the year 2020. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for Greater Philadelphiahttps://www.dvrpc.org/Products/18018Energy Use is defined as the BBTU (Billion British Thermal Units) equivalent of energy consumed by end point users. For electricity this is the BBTU equivalent of the electricity at point of consumption, not the heat content of the fuels used for electricity generation.Emissions (MTCO2E - Metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent) from the following sectors and fuel sources are not included in this allocation: enteric fermentation and manure management; commerical and general aviation; marine and port-related activity; off-road vehicles and equipment; freight and intercity passenger rail; coal; fuels used predominently in the industrial sector (e.g., petroleum coke); and land use, land use change, and forestry.Population and Employment data used in this analysis came from DVRPC's Municipal-level Poulation and Employment Forecasts.GEOID_10 - Unique GIS ID for Municipality.ACRES - Total Municipal Acres.USEACRES - Energy Use per Acres (BBTUs).EUPOPEM - Energy Use per Person/Job (BBTUs).EMIACRE - GHG Emissions per Acre (MTCO2E).EMPOPE - GHG Emissions per Person/Job (MTCO2E).EMSQACRE - GHG Emissions/Sequestration including Land Use, Land Use Change, and Foresty per Acres (MTCO2E).EMSQPOPE - GHG Emissions/Sequestration including Land Use, Land Use Change, and Foresty per Person/Job (MTCO2E).DVRPC estimates that net GHG emissions decreased 10 percent from 2010 to 2015, from emissions equivalent to the release of 82 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MMTCO2e) to about 74 MMTCO2e. GHG emissions were 21 percent lower in 2015 than in 2005. The top three drivers of reductions between 2010 and 2015 were, in decreasing levels of significance, change in electricity generation mix (a cleaner electricity grid due to the continued switch from coal to natural gas), decreased on-road emissions per mile traveled, and decreased electricity consumption per household. Continued reductions will require sustained, concerted and aggressive action at the household, firm, community, regional, state, national, and global level, as well as continued technical advancement.

DVRPC manually adjusted TIGER MCD dataset by adding Philly Planning District boundaries. To get the Planning District boundaries, census tracts were dissolved into most appropriate CPA geography. (Planning Districts are sometime referred to as County Planning Areas at DVRPC) Updated in Jan 2023 to reflect Pine Valley/Pine Hill merger (Pine Valley was incorporated into Pine Hill) The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and were defined by local participants as part of the 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated the census tracts in situations where no local participant existed or where all the potential participants declined to participate. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of census data and comparison back to previous decennial censuses. Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. When first delineated, census tracts were designed to be homogeneous with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. The spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new development, and so forth, may require boundary revisions. In addition, census tracts occasionally are split due to population growth, or combined as a result of substantial population decline. Census tract boundaries generally follow visible and identifiable features. They may follow legal boundaries such as minor civil division (MCD) or incorporated place boundaries in some States and situations to allow for census tract-to-governmental unit relationships where the governmental boundaries tend to remain unchanged between censuses. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the standard census geographic hierarchy. In a few rare instances, a census tract may consist of noncontiguous areas. These noncontiguous areas may occur where the census tracts are coextensive with all or parts of legal entities that are themselves noncontiguous. For the 2010 Census, the census tract code range of 9400 through 9499 was enforced for census tracts that include a majority American Indian population according to Census 2000 data and/or their area was primarily covered by federally recognized American Indian reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands; the code range 9800 through 9899 was enforced for those census tracts that contained little or no population and represented a relatively large special land use area such as a National Park, military installation, or a business/industrial park; and the code range 9900 through 9998 was enforced for those census tracts that contained only water area, no land area.
