What it’s like
The place. Edgewood is a city in Kenton County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and an older population than many places. Incomes run well above the county's, few residents live below the poverty line, and more adults than not hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while July brings warm summer days and the year is fairly wet.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops, and banks, insurance and property. The largest workplaces in Edgewood include ST Elizabeth Healthcare, a general hospital, along with Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital and Kroger Cincinnati-Dayton KMA. Commutes are fairly short, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Several well-known places are a short drive away. The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and the Newport Aquarium suit a day out with family, and the Cincinnati Art Museum offers a quieter afternoon. Great American Ball Park, a stadium, is also a short drive away for those who like a ball game.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Edgewood’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 Kenton County and the Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN metro.
