What it’s like
The place. Kulpmont is a small borough in Northumberland County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and homes cost well below what is typical for the country. Household incomes run below the county's, and a smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than in most places. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers turn warm in July, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing many. Across Northumberland County, some of the largest workplaces are Weis Markets, Watsontown Trucking Company and the Chef Boyardee canning operation. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs has barely changed, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. Knoebels Amusement Resort, an amusement park, is a short drive away, and it is among the better known spots nearby. Locust Creek and North Branch Shamokin Creek run in or beside town, which makes for easy walks along the water. The Schuylkill River is a longer drive away for those who want a bigger stretch of river.

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