What it’s like
The place. Celina is a small city in Mercer County, with residents a little older than the typical American town and most homes lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, though the commute to work is short and most people drive rather than work from home. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants and hotels, or in shops. Crown Equipment Corporation Celina, which builds industrial trucks, Celina City Schools and Walmart are among the largest workplaces in the city. Unemployment in the county has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs across the county has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Grand Lake St. Marys, a reservoir, and Grand Lake St. Marys State Park are both a short drive away, which makes the water the nearest place to spend a day outdoors. A longer drive brings you to the Armstrong Air and Space Museum, and Fort Amanda State Park is another longer trip for those who like a quiet park.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Celina’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 Mercer County and the Celina, OH metro.
