What it’s like
The place. Fort Loramie is a small village in Shelby County, Ohio, with a young population: residents are younger than in most of the country. Household incomes run well above the county's, fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in the building trades. Across Shelby County, some of the largest workplaces are Honda Development & Manufacturing of America (HDMA), Thor and Sidney City Schools. The commute to work is short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Lake Loramie State Park, a protected area, lies in or beside town. A short drive away is the Shrine of the Holy Relics, a museum. A longer drive brings you to Grand Lake St. Marys, a reservoir, and to Eldora Speedway, a race track.

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