What it’s like
The place. Richwood is a small village in Union County where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes here run well below the county's, and homes are priced within reach of that. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and snowy, with a warm summer in July.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Across Union County, large workplaces include Honda Development & Manufacturing of America (HDMA), Marysville Exempted Village Schools and Memorial Hospital of Union County. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Little Scioto River and Bokes Creek are both a short drive away. Delaware State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away, as is the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

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