What it’s like
The place. Georgetown is a village and the seat of Brown County, in the southwest corner of Ohio. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the town is small enough that daily life tends to run at a quiet pace. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, and summers are warm, with July the warmest and plenty of rain across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and professional and business services also employing many. Among the largest workplaces in Georgetown are Georgetown Exempted Village Schools, Waldom Electronics - Ohio and the Veterans Health Administration. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical, commutes run on the long side, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, the John P. Parker House and the John Rankin House are museums that keep the history of the Ohio River region's anti-slavery story, and the Rosemary Clooney Museum is also close by. For a longer outing, Serpent Mound is an archaeological site known across the country, and East Fork State Park offers a protected area for walking and time outdoors.

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