What it’s like
The place. Tustin is a very small village, with far fewer people than most towns and a close-knit feel to match. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and household incomes run well above the county's, though a noticeable part of residents still live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and snow and rain adding up across the year, while summers stay mild and pleasant.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also well represented. Across Osceola County, some of the largest employers are The Hydaker-Wheatlake Company, which builds power line infrastructure, Ventra Evart, which makes vehicle bumpers, and Yoplait-Lactalis, a yogurt mix producer. Jobs across the county have slipped over the past year, and unemployment there is lower than it was a year ago.
Things to do. Mitchell State Park and Lake Cadillac are both a short drive away, offering woods and open water close to home. For a longer outing, Caberfae Peaks Ski & Golf Resort is a ski area that is a longer drive away, and Manistee National Forest is a large protected area that 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 Tustin’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 Osceola County.
