What it’s like
The place. Grabill is a small town in Allen County, Indiana, where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, a good deal more than across most of the country. Typical home values run high for a place this size, and the share of people living below the poverty line is low. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and freezing highs, while July is warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops and in professional and business services. Within the town, some of the largest workplaces are Revive Manufacturing, which makes kitchen cabinets, Sauder Feeds, an animal feed mill, and CSP Innovations, which compounds plastics resins. The typical commute is a short drive, and unemployment across Allen County has been low and slightly lower than a year earlier.
Things to do. The Fort Wayne Children's Zoo and the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory are both a longer drive away, and each makes a good outing for families or a quiet afternoon among the plants. For a day on the water or on foot, Chain O'Lakes State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, as is the St. Joseph River. Anyone interested in old cars can head to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, 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 Grabill’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 Allen County and the Fort Wayne, IN metro.
