What it’s like
The place. Centerville is a very small borough in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, with far fewer residents than most towns. Incomes across the county run on the modest side, and homes here are priced within reach of many buyers. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm and comfortable by comparison. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many people. Across Crawford County, the largest workplaces include Meadville Medical Center, Crawford Central Schools and Allegheny College. Jobs across the county slipped a little last year, though unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier. Few residents have a four-year degree, and most commutes are of moderate length, with only a small number of people working from home.
Things to do. Several creeks run in or beside town, including East Branch Oil Creek, Marsh Run and Britton Run, which suit anyone who likes a walk by the water. A longer drive away is Fort Le Boeuf, a historic fort, and Oil Creek State Park, a protected area for hiking and time outdoors. Drake Well Museum, also a longer drive away, is a museum for those interested in the region's history.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Crawford 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 Crawford County and the Meadville, PA metro.
