What it’s like
The place. Gettysburg is a very small village in Darke County, Ohio, where people tend to know one another. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a modest share of residents live below the poverty line. Homes cost less than in much of the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Darke County, some of the largest workplaces are Midmark in Versailles, the Whirlpool-KitchenAid plant in Greenville, and Wayne Hospital Company. Jobs in the county slipped slightly last year, and unemployment is a little lower than it was a year earlier. The typical commute is a moderate one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Bear's Mill, a museum, is in or beside town, and Garst Museum is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Lake Loramie State Park is a protected area with water and trails to explore, and Grand Lake St. Marys is a large reservoir. Eldora Speedway, a race track, is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Gettysburg’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 Darke County and the Greenville, OH metro.
