What it’s like
The place. Kennerdell is a very small community in Venango County, Pennsylvania, with far fewer residents than a typical town. The people who live here are older than in most places, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest.
Work. People who live here work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many. Across Venango County, the largest workplaces include UPMC Northwest Hospital, Walmart and Komatsu Mining. Jobs across the county have slipped a little over the past year, and a daily commute here tends to be a fairly long one, with few people working from home.
Things to do. French Creek, a river, and Fort Machault, a historic fort site, are both a short drive away. State Game Lands Number 39 and Indian God Rock, an archaeological site, are close by as well. For a longer outing, Oil Creek State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Kennerdell’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.

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 Venango County and the Oil City, PA metro.
