Narrative:
I was cruising eastbound; just south of 39N; at 2;800 ft. I watched on ads as [a mooney] departed runway 28 at 39N and entered a climbing left turn. The aircraft was behind me; and much faster than my C172. The plane leveled at 2;800 ft; headed directly toward me and a mile behind me. At that moment; ny center said 'traffic six o'clock; same direction and altitude; fast-moving.' I performed a chandelle to get out of the way of the other aircraft; which never changed course; altitude or speed. I have ads-B out and in; and it has been verified. Since the other aircraft obviously had ads-B out; I assume it had the in function as well. There was no way I would have avoided a collision; even with ATC warning; if I did not see for myself how immediate the threat was. I can easily believe that a plane overtaking a 172 from behind would have very little cross-section to see visually; but how did they not glance at their own ads-B? I'm really puzzled. If we buy these things and don't use them; what's the purpose of having them?

Title: C172 reported taking evasive action to avoid a midair collision departing 39N airport.
Narrative: I was cruising eastbound; just south of 39N; at 2;800 ft. I watched on ADS as [a Mooney] departed Runway 28 at 39N and entered a climbing left turn.
