What it’s like
The place. Lyons is a very small town in Greene County, Indiana, where neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes here run below the county's, and the typical home is priced modestly. Few adults have a four-year degree, and winters are cold with a fair amount of snow, while summers turn properly warm.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, government and shops. Across Greene County, the largest workplaces include Greene County General Hospital, Walmart and the Bloomfield School District. Unemployment across the county has eased slightly over the past year, and the number of jobs has edged up. The typical commute is a moderate drive, long enough that many residents travel to work in other towns.
Things to do. Greene–Sullivan State Forest, a protected area of woodland, is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to the Eel River, and to Shakamak State Park, a protected area suited to a day outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lyons’ 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 Greene County.
