What it’s like
The place. Leeper is a very small community in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, with few residents and a quiet, rural feel. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and freezing days common, while summers are warm in July without being extreme. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops and restaurants or hotels. Few residents live below the poverty line, and unemployment across Clarion County is lower than a year ago. Some of the county's largest workplaces are Walmart, Clarion Hospital and Cavco Industries.
Things to do. Cook Forest State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and State Game Lands Number 24 is another, also close by. Mill Creek, a river, is a short drive off as well. The Allegheny National Forest, a larger protected area, is a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- LightningRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Leeper’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.
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.
