Dedicated to the Preservation of Township Living
New Market Township has a population of over 3,700. A majority are college-educated professionals with a significant minority in farming and skilled labor. Median age is over 45. With a clear majority of households consisting of traditional families, it is no surprise that the township is dedicated to the "preservation of township living."
Seventy percent of the housing units—most being single-family homes—were built since 1980. Nearly a third of those were built since 2000. With this kind of growth, the township is ever vigilant controlling its growth and quality of environment.
