What it’s like
The place. Eldorado is a very small village in Preble County, Ohio, home to few enough people that neighbors are likely to know one another. Household incomes are a little below the county's, and homes here are worth less than in many parts of the country. Fewer adults than in much of the country hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold while summers turn warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Preble County, some of the largest workplaces are Henny Penny, which makes commercial cooking equipment, Neaton Auto Products, and Eaton Community City Schools. The typical commute is long, and few people work from home, so most jobs mean a drive. Unemployment across the county has eased a little over the past year, and the number of jobs there has barely changed.
Things to do. The closest outings are a short drive away, and they are small rivers and creeks such as Four Mile Creek and Swamp Creek, good for a quiet walk along the water. Farther afield, Eldora Speedway is a race track a longer drive away, and Hayes Arboretum is a botanical garden, also a longer drive away. The Dayton Art Institute is a museum that makes a longer day out.

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