Each neighbor’s History grade, on the same three inputs.
Morgan Township is more historic than 94% of U.S. towns. The History grade combines the town’s founding era, the share of homes built before 1940 and its National Register listings. It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
Two places: the Lippincott Covered Bridge (listed 1979) and the Colver-Rogers Farmstead (2003).
36% of Morgan Township’s homes were built before 1940 (Census estimate, ±7.3 points), against a typical 18% for a Pennsylvania town; the median home was built in 1957.
