What it’s like
The place. Caledonia is a small village in Marion County, Ohio, where nearly everyone who lives here owns their home. Incomes in the village are a little below the county's, and a four-year degree is less common among adults than in much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers turn warm in July, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Marion County, the biggest employers include Whirlpool, Marion General Hospital and Marion City Schools. Very few people work from home, and unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, with the number of jobs growing slightly.
Things to do. Terradise Nature Center, a museum, is in or beside town. A short drive away are Mount Gilead State Park, a protected area, and the Palace Theatre in Marion. For a longer outing, the Ohio State Reformatory, now a museum, and the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, a race track, are 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 Caledonia’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 Marion County and the Marion, OH metro.
