What it’s like
The place. Deerfield is a very small village in Lenawee County, in southeastern Michigan, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes are about level with the county's, and a smaller share of people live in poverty than in many places. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold, with January the coldest month and July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also common. Across Lenawee County, some of the largest workplaces are Adrian Steel Company, Promedica Hickman Hospital and Adrian Public Schools. The typical commute is a long one, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. The Little River Raisin, a river, is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive reaches the Toledo Museum of Art, the Toledo Zoo and Wildwood Preserve Metropark, a protected area. The River Raisin and other rivers in the region also lie within a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Deerfield’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 Lenawee County and the Adrian, MI metro.
