What it’s like
The place. North Apollo is a small borough in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where almost everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and a typical home costs less than many Americans would expect to pay. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a good deal of snow, while July is the warmest and the year brings plenty of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades close behind. Across Armstrong County, some of the largest workplaces are Armstrong Schools, Armstrong County Memorial, and Walmart. Most people drive to work, and the typical trip is a moderate one, though a good number work from home. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, even as the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. The nearest water is the Conemaugh River, a short drive away. Farther afield, the Ohio River and the Allegheny River are a longer drive. For a day out, Acrisure Stadium and PNC Park are stadiums in Pittsburgh, also a longer drive, as is the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

Natural hazards
- Inland floodingRelatively high
- LightningRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in North Apollo’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 Armstrong County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
