According to "Rural Perspectives," a publication of The Center for Rural Pennsylvania, 39 counties in the state lost population between 2010 and 2016. Carbon lost 2.5% of its population. Schuylkill was even worse, losing 3.2% Allegheny (Pittsburgh) barely increased, but Philly and surrounding counties all grew.
That means that the urban and suburban areas should be getting more representatives in the state legislature. Given the behavior and ideology of many of the more rural representatives, I can't wait.
