What it’s like
The place. Broomall is a community in Delaware County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and the share is higher than in many places. Residents tend to be older than in most of the country, household incomes run above the county's, and relatively few people live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with highs only a little above freezing in January and a fair amount of snow, while summers turn properly warm by July. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, professional and business services, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing a good number. Giant Food Stores, Liberty Coca-Cola Beverages and Acme Markets are among the largest workplaces in Broomall itself. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and a fair number of people work from home, while the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. A short drive takes you to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, one of the city's best known museums, and to the Franklin Institute, a science museum. The Philadelphia Zoo is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Independence Hall, the historic site in the heart of Philadelphia, is a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Broomall’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 Delaware County and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro.
