What it’s like
The place. Mifflin is a very small borough in Juniata County, Pennsylvania, with far fewer people than most towns that carry a name on the map. Homes here cost less than the typical American home, and household incomes across Juniata County sit below the national level. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and a modest number work from home.
Work. Residents mostly work in manufacturing, schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, and shops. Across Juniata County, some of the largest workplaces are Aterian, which packs poultry, Juniata County Schools, and Essential Cabinetry Group, which makes countertops and cabinetry. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Port Royal Speedway, a race track, and Tuscarora Creek are in or beside town. A short drive away are Book Site, an archaeological site, and the Embassy Theatre. Winters are cold, with January the chilest month and a fair amount of snow, while summers turn warm and the year brings steady rain and melted snow.

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