What it’s like
The place. Beavertown is a small borough in Snyder County, where nearly everyone who lives in town owns their home. Household incomes run below the county's, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn properly warm by July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and government also common. Across Snyder County, some of the biggest employers are Susquehanna University, National Beef and Selinsgrove Area Schools. The usual commute is a fairly long one, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Lost Creek, a river, and Walker Lake are both a short drive away, as is Snyder Middleswarth Natural Area, a protected area. For a longer outing, McCalls Dam State Park, another protected area, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Beavertown’s census tracts, 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 Snyder County and the Selinsgrove, PA metro.
