Not exactly. Delaware County is 25% black and is a ways from Lancaster County. My folks lived in adjacent Chester County for decades.
64.5% of the people in Delaware County are religious:
- 1.8% are Baptist
- 1.9% are Episcopalian
- 48.1% are Catholic
- 1.3% are Lutheran
- 3.1% are Methodist
- 0.5% are Pentecostal
- 2.4% are Presbyterian -
0.0% are Church of Jesus Christ
- 3.8% are another Christian faith
- 0.6% are Judaism
- 0.1% are an eastern faith
- 0.8% affilitates with Islam
Agreed. I’ve lived in Delco for almost fifty years. It’s *heavily* Irish Catholic. It’s not so much Amish country as Irish country.
I grew up near there (Swarthmore). I don’t recall any Amish, but I do remember the narrow, winding roads that had been there since the Revolution, connecting villages and towns. Not ideal for high-speed driving. Just down the pike is the Apocalyptic wasteland of post-industrial Chester. Pretty sure there are no Amish there either...
