What it’s like
The place. Brookville is a small city in Montgomery County, Ohio, where most homes are lived in by their owners and fewer residents are in poverty than you might expect in a place of its size. Household incomes sit a little below the county's, and a minority of adults have a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with a fair amount of snow, and summers turn warm, with rain or melted snow spread across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops close behind. Within Brookville itself, the largest workplaces include Green Tokai, which makes motor vehicle moldings and extrusions, and Brookville Local Schools. The typical commute is a modest one, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Sycamore State Park is a short drive away and offers a protected stretch of woods and water close to home, and Swamp Creek, also a short drive off, is a small river for a quiet walk. For a longer outing, the National Museum of the United States Air Force is a museum a longer drive away, and the Dayton Art Institute is another museum a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Brookville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Montgomery County and the Dayton-Kettering, OH metro.
