What it’s like
The place. Risingsun is a very small village in Wood County, Ohio, where people tend to be younger than in most places and few adults hold a four-year degree. Household incomes sit below the county's, and homes here cost less than many buyers might expect elsewhere in the state. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while summers turn warm in July, and rain and melted snow fall steadily across the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Wood County, some of the largest workplaces are Amazon, First Solar's Perrysburg plants and Bowling Green State University. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, and the typical commute is a bit longer than a short hop across town.
Things to do. The Portage River is a short drive away and makes for time near the water. A longer drive brings you to the Toledo Museum of Art, a well-known museum, and to the Toledo Zoo. Van Buren State Park, a protected area with a reservoir nearby, is also 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 Risingsun’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 Wood County and the Toledo, OH metro.
