What it’s like
The place. Apollo is a small borough, home to a modest number of people, with a median age a little above the middle of the country's range. Incomes in town run well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than most would expect in a place this size. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are moderate. Winters are cold, with a good deal of snow, and summers are warm; rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in shops. Across Westmoreland County, some of the largest workplaces are Westmoreland Regional Hospital, Elliott Group and UPS. A four-year degree is less common among adults here than in many places, and the commute is a fairly typical one, with a small share of people working from home. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs there slipped slightly last year.
Things to do. The Conemaugh River is a short drive away and offers a place to be near the water. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to the Ohio River and to Acrisure Stadium, the home of professional football in the region. The Carnegie Museum of Natural History is also a longer drive away, for a day out among exhibits.

Natural hazards
- Inland floodingRelatively high
- LightningRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Apollo’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Westmoreland County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
