What it’s like
The place. Irwin is a small town in Madison County, Ohio, in the central part of the state. Across Madison County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the town's surroundings are mainly open land and a quiet, settled pattern of homes. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and the year is fairly wet, so most residents plan for both heat and snow.
Work. Across Madison County, unemployment has fallen over the past year, and the number of jobs has grown. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, or in professional and business services. A share of adults work from home, and a minority of adults across the county hold a college degree.
Things to do. The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is an aquarium a longer drive away, and it is a common outing for families. The Columbus Museum of Art, also a longer drive away, is a museum with a broad collection. The Little Miami River, a longer drive away, is a river well suited to a quiet afternoon outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Madison County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Madison County and the Columbus, OH metro.
