What it’s like
The place. Russell is a small community in Warren County, Pennsylvania, where the population skews older than in much of the country. Households here earn more than the county as a whole, relatively few people live below the poverty line, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail and professional and business services also employing many. Across Warren County, some of the largest workplaces are United Refining Company, Warren County Schools and Warren General Hospital. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is a modest one.
Things to do. Conewango Creek, a river, is a short drive away, as is the Allegheny Reservoir. Cornplanter State Forest, a protected area, is also a short drive from town. For a longer outing, the Allegheny National Forest 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 in Russell’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 Warren County and the Warren, PA metro.
