What it’s like
The place. Paupack is a township where most homes are lived in by their owners, well above what is usual across the country, and residents are older on average than in most places. Household incomes sit a little below the county's, and typical home values are high. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm and July is the warmest.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and shops. A good number of people work from home. Across Pike County, some of the largest workplaces are Woodloch Pines, Delaware Valley Schools and Wallenpaupack Area Schools, though jobs there have slipped slightly over the past year.
Things to do. Lake Wallenpaupack, a reservoir, lies in or beside town. A short drive away are Promised Land State Park, a protected area, and Lake Lacawac, another reservoir. Bushkill Falls, a waterfall, 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 across Pike County, 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 Pike County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
