Drug Abuse

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the sixth most populous state in the nation, with 12.2 million residents. Nearly one-third live in Philadelphia and the surrounding four counties (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery), which combined have a population of more than 3.8 million. Other major population centers include Pittsburgh (population 334,563), Allentown (106,632), and Erie (103,717). The racial/ethnic composition of Pennsylvania is 85.4 percent white, 10 percent black or African American, 3.2 percent Hispanic or Latino, and 1.8 percent Asian. Philadelphia has the most ethnically diverse population, and much of the remainder of the state is ethnically homogeneous.

Philadelphia, the largest city in Pennsylvania and the fifth largest city in the United States, is the center of drug-related activity in the commonwealth. More drugs are sold in Philadelphia than in any other town in Pennsylvania, and most midlevel and possibly some retail distributors throughout the state obtain their drug supply from traffickers in Philadelphia. The city is a major distribution center and transshipment point for both licit and illicit commodities destined for Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic region, largely because the city is centrally located among the Mid-Atlantic states and has a vast transportation infrastructure.
