What it’s like

The place. Darlington is a very small borough in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, with a population far smaller than most towns. Household incomes here run somewhat below the county's, and a modest share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest; precipitation falls as both rain and melted snow across the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. The commute is a typical one, and very few people work from home. Across Beaver County, some of the largest workplaces are Heritage Valley Beaver, a general hospital, Lindy Paving, and the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Plant. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has added jobs only slightly over the past year.

Things to do. The Air Heritage Aviation Museum is in or beside town. A short drive away are State Game Lands Number 285, a protected area of open land, and the Pittsburgh International Race Complex, a race track. For a longer drive, the Butler Institute of American Art is a museum devoted to American painting and sculpture.

Natural hazards

  1. Inland floodingRelatively moderate

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