What it’s like
The place. Midland is a small borough in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, on the Ohio River side of the county. Homes here cost well below what is typical for many parts of the country, and rents are modest too. Household incomes in Beaver County are the benchmark for the area, and a four-year degree is held by a smaller share of adults than in many places. Winters are cold, with January highs a little above freezing, and summers are warm, with July the warmest month. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Midland are Pennsylvania Cyber CS Schools, Elite Gasfield Services and Valmont Industries. Across Beaver County, the number of jobs held about steady last year, and unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier. A typical commute is a fairly short drive, and few people work from home.
Things to do. The Beaver River is a short drive away, and so is Little Blue Run Lake, which makes for a quiet outing close to home. For a longer day out, Pittsburgh's museums are a longer drive away, among them the Andy Warhol Museum and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The city's stadiums, including PNC Park, are also 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 Midland’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 Beaver County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
