Around 33% of residents are married; 21% are married with children; and 30% are not married but have children.

Living in Philadelphia

History aficionados can get their fill in Philadelphia, the only UNESCO World Heritage City in the entire country. From Carpenters’ Hall to the Liberty Bell Center to Independence Hall to the Benjamin Franklin Museum, there’s seemingly endless landmarks to explore.

You can catch touring Broadway shows at the Academy of Music and take in the masterpieces at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Barnes Foundation. Healthcare professionals shouldn’t miss the Mütter Museum at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia — a collection of medical specimens including skulls and skeletons, tumors, and even slides of Albert Einstein’s brain.

Hungry? Philly has a well-established food scene, including more than 300 BYOB restaurants. Head over to Reading Terminal Market, in operation since 1893, where locals and tourists alike go to eat their way through the food stalls that sell everything from produce to baked goods. Philadelphia is also where you’ll find the famed Italian Market, the oldest outdoor market in the U.S.

Speaking of old, Philadelphia is home to the oldest and one of the largest urban park systems in the country — more than 100 parks cover over 10,000 acres. Among the offerings are the scenic trails in Wissahickon Valley Park and Valley Forge National Historical Park, while Fairmount Park features a Japanese garden, historic mansions, and the oldest zoo in the country.

If you’re looking to travel, you have access to three airports, but the main one is Philadelphia International, which has flights to more than 120 destinations around the world. There are also plenty of accessible day trips by car, train, or bus, including to the Brandywine Museum of Art, the Bucks County Playhouse, and Sesame Place.
