What it’s like
The place. Lawrenceburg is a small city on the Ohio River in Dearborn County, Indiana, and a smaller place than most cities. More households here rent their homes than across the county as a whole, though most homes are still lived in by their owners. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect in a city with so many hospital and school jobs. Winters are cold and snowy without being extreme, with the coldest days in January, and summers turn warm in July. Rain and melted snow are fairly generous through the year.
Work. Residents mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in town are ST Elizabeth Dearborn, a general hospital, Lawrenceburg Community School, the local school district, and Kroger, a grocery store. Most people have a fairly short drive to work, and very few work from home. Unemployment across Dearborn County has eased a little since a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Perfect North Slopes, a ski area in or beside town, makes the most of the snowy months, and Tanners Creek, a river in or beside town, is close at hand for time by the water. A short drive away is the Creation Museum, and Laughery Creek, another river, is also a short drive away. For a bigger outing, the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is 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 Lawrenceburg’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 Dearborn County and the Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN metro.
