The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Georgetown is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Bart Township, Pennsylvania, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,022. Georgetown has a post office for P.O. boxes that is called Bart and has the ZIP code of 17503. Otherwise, the CDP is divided into three ZIP code areas for more distant communities. Half of the small community of Nickel Mines, the site of the West Nickel Mines School shooting, is within the Georgetown CDP. The alleged shooter, Charles Carl Roberts IV, was a resident of Georgetown, where he lived with his wife and children.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 3,094 to 3,181 (+3%). Half of its homes were built before 1973.
