Which Philly-area municipalities are growing the fastest?

Municipalities in Chester and Montgomery counties saw the biggest growth last year, while just four places in Camden County - including Camden City - added any residents at all.

That's according to new Census Bureau data, released Thursday, that shows population gains and losses in communities across the country for the one-year period ending in July 2014.

Population figures for counties - including Philadelphia, which saw its population grow 0.27 percent to 1,560,297 residents during that time - were released earlier this spring.

The new data set lets every town, from the smallest boroughs to the largest cities, see how many residents it gained or lost.

In the Philadelphia region, Chester County's East Brandywine Township saw the largest single-year growth. Its population increased 5.73 percent from July 2013 to July 2014, to 8,033 residents.

The township was also the fastest-growing municipality in the region since the 2010 Census. Since then, when East Brandywine counted 6,742 residents, its population has risen 19.1 percent.

Also recording especially strong growth since the last decennial Census were Montgomery County's Salford Township, where the population rose 17.21 percent, and Chester County's Malvern Borough, which had a population increase of 14.54 percent.

In New Jersey, Woolwich Township in Gloucester County has seen the most growth in the area. The township's population grew 4.74 percent last year, to 11,782 residents.

Since 2010, when it counted 10,200 residents, Woolwich's population has increased 15.52 percent.
