What it’s like
The place. Carmichaels is a very small borough in Greene County, Pennsylvania, with a population that keeps it close to a village in feel. Household incomes here run below the county's, and typical home values sit at a level many homeowners would find modest. Winters are cold, with snow most years, and summers turn warm in July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades and in government. Across Greene County, some of the largest workplaces are Waynesburg University, EQT Production Company and Walmart. Commutes are on the long side, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. Friendship Hill, a protected area, is a short drive away, as are Lake Monongahela and South Fork Tenmile Creek, a river. For a longer outing, Ohiopyle State Park and Fallingwater, a museum, are 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 Carmichaels’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.

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 Greene County.
