What it’s like
The place. Grayville is a small city, and most homes in it are lived in by their owners. Typical home values are modest, and household incomes run below the county's, with a larger share of residents living below the poverty line than is usual. Winters are cold and summers are hot, with some snow in the cold months and plenty of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and farming, forestry and mining also providing work. Among the largest workplaces in Grayville are Haven on the River, a skilled nursing facility, Meadow Brook Skilled Nursing and Rehab, a nursing home, and Grayville CUSD 1, the school district. A four-year degree is held by fewer adults than is typical, the commute is fairly long, and some people work from home.
Things to do. Bonpas Creek runs in or beside town, and the Black River is a short drive away. A longer drive leads to the White River, and to Beall Woods State Park, a protected area. Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Garden 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 Grayville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 White County.
