What it’s like
The place. Amity sits in Washington County, Pennsylvania, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold, with the coldest weather in January, and summers are warm, peaking in July. Snow and rain both arrive in good measure over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, or in manufacturing. Across the county, jobs grew over the past year and unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier. Most people travel to a workplace rather than working from home.
Things to do. The Ohio River is the best known of the nearby rivers, a longer drive away, and it is a pleasant place to spend a day by the water. Acrisure Stadium, also a longer drive away, is one of the best known stadiums in the area. Meadowcroft Rockshelter, a museum a longer drive away, offers a look at the region's long history.

Natural hazards

- HailRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Washington County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Washington County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
