What it’s like
The place. Corry is a small city in Erie County, Pennsylvania, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values sit at a modest level. Incomes run well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than most would expect in a place this size. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are mild and pleasant, with July the warmest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing and shops close behind, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employ a good number. Among the largest workplaces in Corry are Corry Manufacturing Company, which makes aircraft engine parts, Corry Area Schools, and Corry Memorial Hospital. Commutes are fairly short, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Coffee Creek runs in or beside town, and Hare Creek is a short drive away for time near the water. A longer drive brings you to Presque Isle State Park, a protected area, and to Waldameer Park, an amusement park. Chautauqua Lake, also a longer drive away, is the choice for a day on a larger lake.

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