What it’s like
The place. Shinglehouse is a small borough in Potter County, in the north of Pennsylvania, where neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes across Potter County run below the state's typical level, and homes in town are priced modestly. A relatively small share of adults hold a four-year degree, and the commute to work is fairly short. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July is pleasantly warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents of Shinglehouse work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Potter County, some of the largest workplaces are Charles Cole Memorial Hospital, Morgan Advanced Materials and Coudersport Area Schools. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Oswayo Creek, a river, is a short drive away and is the nearest water to the borough. A longer drive brings you to Cherry Springs State Park, a protected area, and to Kinzua Bridge State Park, also a protected area. Allegany State Park is another protected area within a longer drive for a day out in the woods.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Shinglehouse’s census tracts, 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 Potter County and the Bradford, PA metro.
