What it’s like
The place. Croydon is a community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and a fairly sizeable one by the standards of the area. Residents are somewhat older than the typical American, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run well below the county's, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in Croydon are Zober Industries, which makes printed circuit assemblies, FedEx Freight, a trucking operation, and Coyne Chemical, a chemicals wholesaler. Commutes are of middling length, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Most of the better-known sights are a longer drive away, in and around Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Franklin Institute are museums, Independence Hall is a historic site at the heart of the country's founding story, and Citizens Bank Park is a stadium for baseball games. Each makes for a day out rather than a quick errand.

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