What it’s like
The place. Colmar is a community in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The county's figures below describe the wider area, since the Census does not count the town on its own. Winters are cold, summers are warm, snow falls most winters, and rain and melted snow are steady through the year.
Work. Most homes here are lived in by their owners, and few households fall below the poverty line. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs dipped slightly. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, manufacturing, or banks, insurance and property, and a majority of adults hold a four-year degree.
Things to do. Independence Hall, listed as an archaeological site, is the best known of the places within reach, and it is a longer drive away. Lincoln Financial Field is a stadium, also a longer drive away, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a museum 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 Montgomery County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Montgomery County and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro.
