What it’s like
The place. Oreland is a small community where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and the median age is a little above that of many American towns. Household incomes sit just below the county's, and fewer residents live in poverty than you might expect. A large majority of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs and lows staying around or below freezing at night, and summers turn warm, with July the hottest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and the building trades. Some of the largest workplaces in Oreland itself are Cheltenham Transportation, Pye Barker Fire & Safety, and Russell Roofing Company. Unemployment across Montgomery County is lower than a year ago, though the county has a few fewer jobs than the year before. A typical commute is a moderate one, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Philadelphia is the draw for a day out. The Philadelphia Zoo is a short drive away, and farther afield are the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a museum, and Independence Hall, an archaeological site and one of the best known places in the country, each a longer drive away. Those who like baseball can head to Citizens Bank Park, a stadium, 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 Oreland’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 Montgomery County and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro.
