What it’s like
The place. New Eagle is a small borough in Washington County, and most homes in it are lived in by their owners. Incomes run well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than many would expect of a town this size. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in the country as a whole, and typical home values are modest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in shops, and in restaurants and hotels. Across Washington County, some of the largest workplaces are Pennsylvania Western University, UPMC Washington and Canon-McMillan Schools. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and only a few 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. The Ohio River, a river, is a longer drive away, and it makes for a good day out by the water. Acrisure Stadium, a stadium for big games, and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, a museum, are also a longer drive away. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are warm, so the river suits the warmer months best.

Natural hazards
- Inland floodingRelatively moderate
- LightningRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in New Eagle’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Washington County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
