What it’s like
The place. Cable, Ohio, sits in Champaign County, where most homes are lived in by their owners and the median age points to a community of settled, middle-aged and older residents. Incomes and poverty rates here are in line with what is typical for the county, and a good number of families have lived in the area for many years. Winters are cold and summers are warm, with steady rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, or in professional and business services. Joblessness is lower than it was a year ago, and the county's job numbers grew in the most recent year. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country as a whole, and few people work from home, so most people commute out each day.
Things to do. The Great Miami River is a river a longer drive away, good for a day out by the water. Ohio Caverns, a protected area a short drive away, offers underground tours. The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, an aquarium a longer drive away, is a fuller day trip.

Natural hazards
FEMA rates every natural hazard here relatively low or very low.
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Champaign County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Champaign County and the Urbana, OH metro.
