What it’s like
The place. Girard is a small city in Trumbull County, Ohio, with a population that skews somewhat older than the typical American community. Incomes run below the county's, and more residents live below the poverty line than most would expect, yet most households own the homes they live in. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days and rain or melted snow falls throughout the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and shops also employing many. The Girard City School District is among the largest workplaces in town, alongside UPS and Metalico Girard. Commutes are short, and few people work from home. Across the county, jobs slipped a little last year, and unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Butler Institute of American Art is a museum devoted to American painting, and Mill Creek Park is a large protected area of woods and waterways for walking. Fellows Riverside Gardens, a botanical garden, is also a short drive away. Those willing to travel further can reach Pymatuning State Park, a protected area set around a lake, on a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Girard’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 Trumbull County and the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, OH-PA metro.
