What it’s like
The place. New Riegel is a very small village in Seneca County, Ohio, home to far fewer people than most towns. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and typical home values sit well above what that income level might suggest. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents of New Riegel work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, transport and warehousing, and retail also employing many. Across Seneca County, some of the largest workplaces are Tiffin University, Tiffin City Schools and National Machinery. Hardly anyone works from home, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Van Buren State Park and Van Buren Lake, a protected area and a reservoir, are each a longer drive away. Seneca Caverns, a tourist attraction, and the Mazza Museum of International Art from Picture Books, a museum, are also a longer drive from the village.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in New Riegel’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 Seneca County and the Tiffin, OH metro.
