What it’s like
The place. Stevens is a small community in Lancaster County, with a population that is small even by the standards of the county's towns. Household incomes here run well below the county's. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and temperatures that stay close to freezing during the day and drop below it at night, while summers turn warm in July. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Stevens are Sunrise Transport, a long-distance trucking firm, Sunrise Logistics, a freight and inventory planning consultancy, and Stevens Feed Mill, which makes animal feed. Across Lancaster County, unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier, and the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. Cocalico Creek runs in or beside town, and the Ephrata Cloister, a museum, is just as close. Middle Creek, another waterway, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Hersheypark and Dutch Wonderland, both amusement parks, are 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 Stevens’ 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 Lancaster County and the Lancaster, PA metro.
