DEMOGRAPHICS 2013

Market InformationBerks County is strategically located in the Keystone State of Pennsylvania. Berks is a suburban county situated in the southeastern area of Pennsylvania. Roughly diamond shaped, the county covers an 864 square-mile area. Berks, and the City of Reading, the county seat, are well positioned to take advantage of the established road, rail, air, and water transportation systems of the entire northeast corridor.

Located on the fringe of a dynamic market of economic, trade and industrial activity, Reading’s proximity to Philadelphia, New York, and Washington, D.C., provides quality-of-life opportunities available in large metropolitan areas – with the benefits of a rural environment.

While Berks County’s location is ideal for family life, businesses enjoy even more advantages because of its strategic placement. Berks County could be described as the “Keystone County in the Keystone State.” If you want to do business in this part of the country, you’ll want to be in Berks County.
