What it’s like
The place. Trooper is a community in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, where almost every home is lived in by its owner and very few households are renters. Incomes sit below the county's, and a smaller share of people live below the poverty line than you might expect. Winters are cold and snowy, summers turn warm, and the rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and manufacturing. Across Montgomery County, some of the largest workplaces are Abington Memorial Hospital, SEI Investments Company and Lockheed Martin. Many adults hold a four-year degree, a fair number work from home, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. Philadelphia's museums and landmarks are a longer drive away. Independence Hall is the best known, an archaeological site tied to the nation's founding, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a major art museum. The Philadelphia Zoo is also a longer drive away and suits a day out with visitors of any age.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Trooper’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 Montgomery County and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro.
