Over my spring break, I decided I am going to attend Villanova University School of Law in Radnor Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
One of the more interesting comparisons between where I attended high school, attend college, and will attend law school is the economic demographics of the areas. While Carmichaels, the town I attended high school, and Hillsdale are rural in nature and economically poor where as Radnor Township is very suburban and even more affluent.
For example, the median income of a family in each area:
Cumberland Township, Greene County, PA (where I attended hi gh school) - 36188
Hillsdale, Hillsdale County, MI (where I attend college) - 42649
Radnor Township, Delaware County, PA (where I will attend law school) - 107,771
Speaking of the affluent area around Villanova, Forbes recently had an article on affluent suburbs and mentioned Villanova while discussing the best suburbs in the Philadelphia region.
