What it’s like
The place. Baden is a small borough in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Residents tend to be older than in much of the country, and household incomes run below the county's, though typical home values are fairly high. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and precipitation falls steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with restaurants, hotels and entertainment, manufacturing, and professional and business services also employing local people. Among the largest workplaces in Baden are Concordia at Villa St. Joseph and Baden Academy CS. Commutes are fairly typical, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Beaver River is a short drive away, and the Ohio River is a longer drive. Farther out, Pittsburgh's cultural sights are within reach, including the Andy Warhol Museum and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Sports fans can make the longer trip to PNC Park or Acrisure Stadium.

Natural hazards
- Strong windRelatively moderate
- LightningRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Baden’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Beaver County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
