Listed below are the current population and steets of West Abington Township. The area is relatively stable with the population and racial/ethnicity ratios similar to reference areas. The area is reasonably diverse, though race and Hispanic ethnicity are increasingly diverse, and may vary by neighborhood. Although race and ethnicity overlap with a number of factors, such as tree canopy and health outcomes, there is a focus on eliminating equity issues in the community and addressing the issues in an equitable way.
The Abington Township Commission recently met to consider a cooperative site plan. Three departments reviewed the project, and they found it satisfactory. A number of people were present, but the public was not allowed to speak. Instead, commissioners heard specific questions, presented different opinions, and held a vote. After the vote, the zoning amendment passed by a nine-to-one margin. Although the Abington Township Co-op's proposal has faced opposition, the community should stay strong.
