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. Huntingdon has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic boroughs.

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 with a large college student population. Because of this, there is a real youthful, hip vibe to the place, and much of the life in the town is centered on the college. This has helped Huntingdon to buck the trend of other small towns that have suffered declining populations over the past 20 to 30 years. Spending by students, and faculty and staff jobs, are a big part of the local economy.

Residents of the borough have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 17.93 minutes getting to work every day.

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 2022 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.
