Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
With 4,681 residents, it is a town in Pennsylvania.
Warrington Township’s strongest subject is incomes — the median household earns $78K. This Pennsylvania town grades A− overall, better than nearly four fifths of U.S. towns. The ranking puts it 344th of 1032 in Pennsylvania. Cost of living is another plus (B+): a typical home costs about $276K, 3.3 years of the York metro’s $85K median household income. What holds it back is walkability (D). Most errands need a car: it is less walkable than 95% of U.S. towns. Just over a fifth of the land locally is conserved, where Pennsylvania’s towns sit at 8.2% and U.S. towns at 4.3%. Gifford Pinchot State Park, at 2,146 acres with 20 miles of trail, is the biggest park or preserve.
