What it’s like
The place. Point Marion is a small borough in Fayette County, in the southwest corner of Pennsylvania, with Dunkard Creek running in or beside town. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are well below what many homeowners elsewhere would expect. Incomes run below the county's median, and more residents live below the poverty line than is typical, so this is a modest, working place. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in professional and business services. Not many adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is fairly long, though some people work from home. Across Fayette County, the largest workplaces include Nemacolin, WVU Medicine and Uniontown Hospital, and the county's job market has been soft, with unemployment lower than a year ago but jobs slightly fewer than the year before.
Things to do. Dunkard Creek, a river in or beside town, is the nearest water. A short drive away are Friendship Hill, a protected area, and Cheat Lake, a reservoir. For a longer outing, Ohiopyle State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and Fallingwater, a museum, is 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 Point Marion’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 Fayette County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
