It was notable with a number of large pieces of the broken-up asteroid recovered, including one of 23.5 kg (52 lb) that impacted into the Earth to a depth of 1.7 m (5.5 ft).

The meteorite fell during an outdoor funeral service with more than 200 people attending who witnessed the event or heard the several stones falling.

13.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 4.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Johnstown's economy continues to expand and grow with major companies such Kroger's Fulfillment Center, Buc-ee's Travel Center, and Woods Grocer expanding into the community.
