What it’s like
The place. Granville is a village in Licking County where most homes are lived in by their owners, with far more owners than across much of the country. Household incomes run well above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. A large share of adults hold a four-year degree, and typical homes are valued at a good deal more than in many places nearby. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest; rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and banks, insurance and property. The largest workplaces in Granville are Denison University and Granville Exempted Village Schools, along with Ohio's Hospice of Central Ohio. Unemployment across Licking County is lower than a year ago, and the county has added jobs. A fair number of residents work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. Right in or beside town is the Alligator Effigy Mound, an archaeological site. A short drive away are Buckeye Lake State Park, a protected area, and the Midland Theatre. For a longer outing, Columbus has the Columbus Museum of Art and the Wexner Center for the Arts, both museums 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 Granville’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 Licking County and the Columbus, OH metro.
