What it’s like
The place. Fredericksburg is a small place in Lebanon County, in south-central Pennsylvania. Across the county, the typical resident is in midlife, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Typical home values are a substantial sum, and the town's streets and homes reflect a community where people have often put down roots.
Work. Across Lebanon County, unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, and job numbers edged up over the past year. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, shops, or professional and business services. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree, and a minority work from home, so most people commute to a workplace.
Things to do. Swatara State Park and State Game Lands Number 80 are both protected areas a short drive away, suited to walking and time outdoors. For a larger outing, Hersheypark, an amusement park, is a longer drive away. Winters here are cold with a fair amount of snow, while summers are warm, so plan trips with the season in mind.

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