What it’s like
The place. Clio is a small city in Genesee County. Incomes run below the county's, and a good many households live below the poverty line, though most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, manufacturing, schools, hospitals and social care, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Clio are SpartanNash, a grocery distributor, and Cardinal Machine Company, which builds assembly machines. The typical commute is a long one, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Clio Depot, a museum, is in or beside town. A short drive away are Crossroads Village, a museum, and Flint Park, an amusement park. The Flint Institute of Arts is a longer drive away, for those who want a larger museum.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Clio’s census tracts, 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 Genesee County and the Flint, MI metro.
