Huntingdon is a somewhat small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 6,930 people and four associated neighborhoods, Huntingdon is the 194th largest community in Pennsylvania. Much of the housing stock in Huntingdon was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs in the country.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.94% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Huntingdon is a small town where college students really create the town feel and character. So many small towns have lost population over the last 20-30 years that having the local college presence in the Huntingdon area, with all of the energy of the students filling area dorms and apartments each fall, really helps Huntingdon maintain a good economy.

One of the benefits of Huntingdon is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 17.93 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

As is often the case in a small borough, Huntingdon doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The overall education level of Huntingdon is somewhat higher than in the average US city of 21.84%: 28.84% of adults 25 and older in the borough have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Huntingdon in 2018 was $30,794, which is lower middle income relative to Pennsylvania, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $123,176 for a family of four. However, Huntingdon contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
