What it’s like

The place. Sligo is a small borough in Clarion County, home to fewer people than most towns in the region. Incomes here run below the county's, and more households live below the poverty line than a typical town would see. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places.

Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing and other services close behind. Across Clarion County, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, Clarion Hospital and Cavco Industries. The typical commute is a long one, and very few people work from home.

Things to do. The Clarion River, a river a short drive away, is the nearest place for time on the water. Foxburg Country Club, a museum also a short drive away, adds a stop for an afternoon out. Redbank Creek, another river a short drive away, is close by too. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.

Staff on average in 2025, as each workplace reported it to OSHA with its injury records: 40 workplaces with 20 or more staff, 3,250 people in all across the county; Sligo has none of its own. Hospitals come from their Medicare cost reports (CMS, 2023) and school districts from the Common Core of Data (NCES, 2023–24); FTE marks full-time equivalent staff. Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Sligo’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 Clarion County.
