https://vernadiscovery.com The Comeback Files: get the real counts for twelve American animals that came back from almost nothing.
Amish families are leaving their homes, and the reason is not persecution or a crisis of faith. It is land prices, a population that doubles every twenty years, and a few Amish families planning new settlements on purpose. Here is what the record actually shows.
Lancaster County's Amish population rose from about 44,765 to 45,575 in one year, yet families are moving to Maryland, New York, Missouri and beyond. This video follows a young Amish man from Leola who bought a farm in Maryland, the researchers who count the movement, the land prices behind it, and the Amish realtor who scouted a whole new settlement before any families moved in.
In this video you'll learn:
How many Amish families actually leave Lancaster County, and how many stay
Why the Amish population doubles about every twenty years
How Amish schools and the 1972 Wisconsin v. Yoder ruling fit into why young people stay
What farmland costs in Lancaster County and in Maryland
Which states are gaining Amish settlements fastest
How one Amish realtor started the Glen Rock settlement in York County
