Tioga
6.2
High score (8-10)
Tioga County has one legitimately impressive outdoor attraction — the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon (Pine Creek Gorge), a 50-mile long canyon up to 1,450 feet deep that is one of the most dramatic landscapes in the eastern US. Wellsboro is a well-preserved Victorian small city with gas-lamp-lit streets and a better-than-expected restaurant scene for its size, driven by tourism money from the canyon. For an outdoors-oriented man with remote income, Wellsboro is one of the most livable small towns in rural Pennsylvania.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Tioga County's Wellsboro is a pretty Victorian town with a famous gas-lit main street and the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon (Pine Creek Gorge) nearby. The tourism around the canyon and the Tioga State Forest brings summer visitors, but Wellsboro's permanent population is under 3,000. The tourism gives Wellsboro more restaurant and retail life than comparable rural Pennsylvania towns.
Lower score (below 6)
Tioga County's permanent population is small and the social scene is entirely local. The tourism brings visitors who appreciate the canyon and leave — it doesn't generate a social community. Wellsboro has charm but the single adult population here is thin and the county has no college or significant employer drawing outside talent.
