What it’s like
The place. Liverpool is a small borough in Perry County, home to fewer people than most towns its age. Winters are cold, with snow most years, and summers turn warm. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal across the year. Most households own their homes, though renters are a sizable part of the town. Poverty is lower than many might expect, and incomes in the county run solid. Few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in the building trades, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Perry County, the biggest employers include West Perry Schools, Susquenita Schools and Champion Liverpool, which makes prefabricated homes. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Bargers Run, a river in or beside town, is the closest place to spend time by the water, and Independence Run, another river, is a short drive away. For a bigger day out, Hersheypark, an amusement park, is a longer drive away, as is the Juniata River.

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