What it’s like
The place. Edgerton is a small village in Williams County, Ohio, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than one might expect of a village its size. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fairly typical year's worth.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. The largest workplaces in Edgerton include Edgerton Local Schools, Air-way Global Manufacturing and Edgerton Forge. Few residents work from home, a four-year degree is less common among adults than in many places, and the typical commute is a short one. Williams County has seen fewer jobs than a year earlier, though unemployment there has eased over the past year.
Things to do. For a day out, Pokagon State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and Goll Woods State Nature Preserve offers another stretch of protected woodland. The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, also a longer drive away, is the best known of the nearby places and draws people interested in classic cars. Anyone who likes the water could try Lake James, likewise a longer drive from the village.

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