What it’s like
The place. Pulaski is a community in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, where winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year, so residents tend to plan around wet weather as much as the seasons. Its neighbors in the county share much of the same climate and way of life.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. Joblessness in the county has eased over the past year, and the number of jobs has grown a little. Work here is spread across several kinds of employers rather than resting on one.
Things to do. The Shenango River is a river a longer drive away, and the Butler Institute of American Art is a museum a longer drive away. The Beaver River, another river a longer drive away, is also an option for a day out.

Natural hazards

- LightningRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Lawrence 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 Lawrence County and the New Castle, PA metro.
