What it’s like
The place. Brookville is a small Pennsylvania borough and part of Jefferson County. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and snow and rain through the year, while summers are mild and July is the warmest month.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in professional and business services, and in shops. Some of the largest workplaces in town are Ali Group North America, which makes coolers and refrigeration equipment, Jefferson Manor, a nursing care home for older people, and Brookville Hospital. Jobs across the county have slipped a little over the past year, and the commute for most workers is short.
Things to do. Sandy Lick Creek runs in or beside town, and State Game Lands Number 31 is a short drive away. For a longer day out, Cook Forest State Park and Clear Creek State Park are protected areas a longer drive away, with woods and creeks to walk beside.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Brookville’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 Jefferson County.
