Local tick habitat
Glenolden Borough is 57% natural land cover (48% forest, plus open and brushy areas) across its 0.97 sq mi, home to about 7,168 people. That makes it the 28th-most wooded of the 49 towns in Delaware County. Deer ticks live in wooded areas, along trail edges, and in tall grass: the more of that a town has, the more places ticks can quest.
Delaware County reports about 62 Lyme cases per 100,000 people a year, in the top 12% of U.S. counties for reported Lyme disease. That county-level disease pressure, combined with Glenolden Borough's local habitat, sets how high its daily score can climb when the weather and season allow.
