What it’s like
The place. Donegal is a borough in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and it is one of the smallest places of its kind in the area, so life here is quiet and close-knit. Neighbors tend to know one another, and the town's pace is unhurried compared with the larger communities nearby. Winters are cold, summers are warm, and the year is a wet one, with plenty of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing, retail shops, and professional and business services. Across Westmoreland County, unemployment has come down over the past year, which suggests steadier work than before. Jobs in these fields are often found in nearby towns and cities, so many people commute.
Things to do. Fallingwater, a museum and one of the best known works of modern architecture, is a longer drive away. Ohiopyle State Park, a protected area, is also a longer drive, and Seven Springs Mountain Resort, a ski area, is a short drive away.

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