What it’s like
The place. Springdale is a small borough in Allegheny County where most homes are lived in by their owners, a larger share than you might expect for the area. Household incomes run below the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers turn warm by July, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Within Springdale itself, the largest workplaces are PPG Industries, Greco Steel Products and Springdale Energy. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs has barely changed, and a typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive reaches the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Andy Warhol Museum, along with the Allegheny River, one of the rivers that shape the region.

Natural hazards
- Cold wavesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Springdale’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Allegheny County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
