  • Chapter Title
    Centre County Demographics and Travel Patterns The purpose of this chapter is to describe Centre County in terms of demographics, major and minor trip generators, planning and zoning, and travel patterns. This information, when considered relative to the inventory of available transportation modes in Centre County, helps to identify specific areas that present the greatest need for transportation improvements. The large land area of Centre County (almost 1,100 square miles), and the County’s mountain ridges and valleys impact the physical layout of transportation infrastructure. Demographic indicators must also be considered within the context of these geographic attributes. Within this chapter, socioeconomic data at the census tract level from the 2010 US Census, 2009-13 American Community Survey (ACS), and the information from Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County (CBICC) is presented relative to the following categories: • Population and Density • Vehicle Availability • Income and Poverty • Labor Force and Unemployment • Public Assistance and SSI Income • Educational Attainment • Distribution of Jobs • Distribution of Age 65 and Older Population and Social Security Income • Distribution of Disabled Population • Housing Figure 2, which is a map of census tracts within Centre County, is presented on the following page.

    Transcript of “Brett Edwards, Meteorologist at AccuWeather in State College, Pennsylvania” Clear Skies Ahead: Conversations about Careers in Meteorology and Beyond August 11, 2020 Kelly Savoie: Welcome to the American Meteorological Societies Podcast Series on Careers in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences. I’m Kelly Savoie and I’m here with Rex Horner and we will be your hosts. Our podcast series will give you the opportunity to step into the shoes of an expert working in weather, water, and climate sciences. Rex Horner: We’re excited to introduce today’s guest Brett Edwards, a Meteorologist at AccuWeather in State College, Pennsylvania. Welcome, Brett. Thanks so much for joining us. Brett Edwards: Yeah, guys. Thank you for having me. Kelly: Brett, tell us a little bit about when you became interested in meteorology and how it influenced your educational path. Brett: Well, I think that’s a really interesting thing about meteorologists. I feel everyone has that story or it’s always just been there. For me, it actually goes back probably I’m 8, 10. I’m a fairly young age and I’m watching TV with my mom and we’re just flipping through channels, trying to find something to watch. And I noticed something on the TV, and I’m like, “Wait, go back a channel.” And it was the Weather Channel, actually. And Storm Stories was on and they showed a beautiful stove pipe tornado. And I just remember that exact moment was like, “That’s it.” And from then on, the rest is history. From there, I pursued my Bachelor’s Degree in Meteorology at Valparaiso University.
