What it’s like
The place. Broad Top is a township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, and it is a small place, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Typical home values sit at a level many would call modest, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers turn warm, with July the warmest, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, transport, warehouses and utilities, and shops. Across Huntingdon County, some of the largest workplaces are Juniata College, Walmart and Huntingdon Area Schools. The typical commute is a long one, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Warriors Path State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Yellow Creek, a river. State Game Lands Number 261, also a protected area, is a short drive as well. For a longer outing, Trough Creek 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 across Huntingdon County, 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 Huntingdon County and the Huntingdon, PA metro.
