30.0% of all households were made up of individuals, and 11.8% were someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

[2] According to the U.S. Census American Community Survey, for the period 2016-2020 the estimated median annual income for a household in the township was $67,249, and the median income for a family was $79,112.

[2] The township is governed by a three-member Board of Trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1.

The current Trustees are Kristie Dukes Davis, Joseph Honerlaw, and Mark Berning.
