What it’s like
The place. Arcanum is a village in Darke County, Ohio, and most homes there are lived in by their owners. Poverty is lower than it is across much of the country, and a four-year degree is less common among adults than in many places. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest; the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops also employing many. Across Darke County, some of the largest workplaces are Midmark in Versailles, the Whirlpool-Kitchenaid plant in Greenville and Wayne Hospital Company. Commutes tend to be long, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Bear's Mill, a museum, is a short drive away, as is Swamp Creek, a river. A longer drive brings you to the National Museum of the United States Air Force, one of the best known museums of its kind, and to Eldora Speedway, a race track.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Arcanum’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Darke County and the Greenville, OH metro.
