Note: The apparent slight decrease in the Lancaster settlement’s population from 2023 to 2024 is the result of a new way of defining that settlement. In the past, the Young Center included the church districts in southeastern York County, Pennsylvania, as part of the Lancaster settlement. As this southeastern York community has developed more of its own identity, it is now listed as a separate settlement and is no longer included in the Lancaster total.
