What it’s like
The place. Riverside is a city in Montgomery County, Ohio, with a population on the younger side and incomes somewhat below the county's. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though more than a few households rent. Winters are cold and snowy, summers turn warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Riverside are Mad River Local Schools, UPS and Kroger Cincinnati-Dayton KMA. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, unemployment is lower than a year ago, and the typical commute is a short one.
Things to do. Some of the best known museums in the area, the National Museum of the United States Air Force and the National Aviation Hall of Fame, are in or beside town, and so is Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. A short drive away you will find the Dayton Art Institute, an art museum, and the Stillwater River and Mad River, both good for a walk beside the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Riverside’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Montgomery County and the Dayton-Kettering, OH metro.
