What it’s like
The place. Napoleon is a small city in Henry County, in northwest Ohio, where most homes are lived in by their owners and the typical home value sits modestly. Incomes run a little below the county's, and the population is middle-aged, with a median age close to that of the country as a whole. Winters are cold, with snow through the season, and summers are warm, with rain and melted snow spread across the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Napoleon are JAC Products, Napoleon Area City Schools and Henry County Hospital. Unemployment in the county has eased over the past year, and the number of jobs there has edged up. A typical commute is short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Auglaize River is a river a longer drive away, and Independence Dam State Park is a protected area, also a longer drive away. Fort Defiance, a historic fort site, is likewise 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 Napoleon’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
