Northumberland
7.5
High score (8-10)
Northumberland County has some historic character — Sunbury was founded in 1772 and the county has a well-preserved 19th century downtown in places. Very affordable housing for someone who can generate income remotely.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Northumberland County covers Sunbury and Shamokin — former anthracite and manufacturing towns in demographic decline since the mid-20th century. Shamokin in particular went from a thriving coal city to one of the most economically distressed small cities in Pennsylvania. There's little remaining here socially or economically that would attract an outsider.
Lower score (below 6)
Northumberland County is in severe economic decline with some of the highest poverty rates in central Pennsylvania concentrated in Shamokin. The social fabric is composed of aging post-mining communities with no outside energy or influx. A foreign man here has no social entry point whatsoever and no rational reason to be in this county.
