Lancaster County Planning (LCP) developed the Data Dashboard to serve as a centralized data resource for local governments, planning partners, and the broader community. It features data about how Lancaster County has changed since the 2018 adoption of places2040, the Lancaster County Comprehensive Plan. 

The dashboard contains the most current data on commonly asked questions ranging across five topics: 

1) Regional Planning, 
2) Demographics, 
3) Housing, 
4) Transportation, and 
5) Economy.
