The Delaware Valley, also known as the Philadelphia-Camden-Vineland, PA-NJ-DE-MD Metropolitan Combined Statistical Area, is named for the Delaware River which flows through the region.

The Delaware Valley is composed of several counties in Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and contains a population of 5,951,797 (as of the 2005 Census Bureau estimate). Philadelphia, being the region's major commercial and industrial center, maintains a rather large sphere of influence that affects those counties that immediately surround it. The majority of the region's populace reside in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The Delaware Valley once had a stagnant population, but over the past twenty years the area has recorded population growth at a rate of 10.6% on average. The area boasts safe, prospering suburbs and cities, cleaner air than most metropolitan areas, and cultural and ethnic enclaves. The area boasts a large influx of foreign born residents, hailing from many countries across Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe. The area has the one of the largest populations of Koreans and Indians in the country, along with many other Asian backgrounds, significantly Chinese and Vietnamese. There are also huge populations of African Americans, Puerto Ricans, Arabs, and many Europeans, especially Italians, Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, Irish, and Poles.2003 American Community Survey: Philadelphia, PA-NJ PMSA, United States Census Bureau, accessed June 7, 2006 The Delaware Valley is also home to one of the most prominent populations of African-born residents, mainly of Nigerian, Liberian, Ethiopian, Kenyan, Sudanese, and Somali backgrounds.
