What it’s like
The place. New Paris is a small village in Preble County, Ohio, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes here run well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than most would expect, while homes are priced in the range of the typical Ohio house. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the population is neither especially young nor old. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers turn warm in July, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents of New Paris work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Preble County, some of the largest workplaces are Henny Penny, which makes commercial cooking equipment, Neaton Auto Products, which makes oil filters, and Eaton Community City Schools. The typical commute is a moderate one, and a small number of people work from home. Unemployment in the county is lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs there has barely changed.
Things to do. A short drive away, Hayes Arboretum is a botanical garden, and the Richmond Art Museum offers a museum visit close to home. The Levi Coffin House, also a museum a short drive off, is among the historic sites nearby. For a longer outing, Hueston Woods State Park is a reservoir park 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 New Paris’ 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 Preble County and the Greenville, OH metro.
