What it’s like

The place. Uniontown is a small city and the county seat of Fayette County, in the hills of southwestern Pennsylvania. Residents tend to be somewhat older than in much of the country, and fewer than in most places own the homes they live in, so renting is common. Incomes run well below the county's, and a good many households live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January highs hovering around freezing and a fair amount of snow, while summers turn warm and rain falls through the year.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, restaurants and hotels, and manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Uniontown are Uniontown Area Schools, Laurel Business Institute and Grane Healthcare Company. Across Fayette County, unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly. Commutes are of a moderate length, and few people work from home.

Things to do. The State Theatre Center for the Arts is in or beside town, as is the Sheepskin Trail, which suits walking and cycling. A short drive away are Fort Necessity National Battlefield, an archaeological site, and Laurel Caverns, a tourist attraction. For a longer outing, Fallingwater, a museum, and Ohiopyle State Park, a protected area, are both a longer drive away.
