Civic life grade

What’s behind Lemoyne’s civic life grade

On community nonprofits and volunteering, Lemoyne is ahead of 68% of U.S. towns, #154 of 1,029 in Pennsylvania. Lemoyne is graded on two of the three inputs. Lemoyne’s count of community nonprofits holds the grade up; the share of younger adults in volunteering groups pulls it down.

Civic life counts registered nonprofits, library visits and online volunteering groups, so it can miss civic life that runs through congregations, mutual aid or neighbors looking out for each other.

How sure. Graded on two inputs, so a change in either one moves the letter more than it would with three. Lemoyne is small (4,801 residents), so a few dozen organizations or visits move its per-resident figures; the volunteering share is a 2022 estimate from Facebook users aged 25–44.

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

From the Public Libraries Survey, fiscal year 2024.

  • The library’s own count. Libraries report their own visits, loans and programs. A library that didn’t respond keeps its address and hours here, with no numbers.

Hours are the survey’s yearly average; libraries are compared with others serving about as many people. How TownRatings uses library figures →
