What it’s like
The place. Knox is a small borough in Clarion County, home to a close-knit community. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults, somewhat fewer than in many places. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and snow a regular part of the season, and summers are warm in July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, restaurants and hotels, and manufacturing. Across Clarion County, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, Clarion Hospital and Cavco Industries. A typical commute takes a little longer than a quick hop across town, and a small group of people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, East Sandy Creek and Richey Run are both rivers a short drive away. Foxburg Country Club, listed as a museum, is also a short drive from town. A longer drive leads to Oil Creek State Park, a protected area, and to the Clarion River.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Knox’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 Clarion County.
