What it’s like
The place. New Florence is a small borough in Westmoreland County, and most of its homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes are below the county's, and homes are modest in price, though more residents live below the poverty line than is typical. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might find in larger towns. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. Across Westmoreland County, some of the largest workplaces are Westmoreland Regional Hospital, Elliott Group and UPS. Jobs across the county have dipped slightly over the past year, and unemployment there has eased compared with a year ago. A fair number of residents work from home, and for those who commute, the drive is of middling length.
Things to do. Buttermilk Falls Natural Area, a waterfall, lies in or beside town, and the Squirrel Hill Site, an archaeological site, is close by as well. A short drive away, the Little Conemaugh River and the Johnstown Flood Museum are within easy reach. For a longer outing, the Flight 93 National Memorial is 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 New Florence’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 Westmoreland County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
