What it’s like
The place. Saint Clair is a small borough in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, with incomes a little below the county's and a poverty rate that is not high. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home value is low by national standards. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm in July and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many people. Across Schuylkill County, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, Hydro Cressona and Cargill Meat Solutions. Few adults here have a four-year degree, and very few work from home, so most people travel to a job.
Things to do. Yuengling Bicentennial Park and Gardens is in or beside town, and the Schuylkill River, Locust Lake State Park and Weiser State Forest are all a short drive away for walking, water and woods. Fighter's Heaven, a museum, is also a short drive away. For a longer day out, Knoebels Amusement Resort 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 Saint Clair’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 Schuylkill County and the Pottsville, PA metro.
