What it’s like

The place. Genesee is a small community in Potter County, in the hilly, wooded north of Pennsylvania. Winters are long and cold, with a good deal of snow, while summers are mild and pleasant. Rain and melting snow keep the land green for much of the year.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing. Shops, and the transport, warehouse and utility jobs that keep them running, provide other work. Fewer people work from home here than in most of the country, so going out to a job is the usual way of working.

Things to do. The Genesee River is a short drive away, and it is the closest place to spend time by water. A little farther off, Pine Creek is another river, and Cherry Springs State Park is a protected area of open land.

Natural hazards

  1. Strong windRelatively moderate

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Potter County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Potter County.
