LABOR FORCE: 56,886

LAND AREA: 356.54 SQ. MILES

Elevations in the county vary dramatically from 125 feet to 1,600 feet due to mountain ranges and ridges such as Kittatinny Mountain, Jenny Jump Mountain, and more. In recent years, the county’s residential development has increased due to the completion of Interstate 78 which led to more housing and commercial increases. The county is most known for its ties to the healthcare industry.
