What it’s like
The place. Union City is a small village in Darke County, Ohio, with a population that has stayed modest in size. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are well within reach compared with many parts of the country. Incomes here run well below the county's, and a high share of residents live below the poverty line, so many households manage on tight budgets. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm; rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents mostly work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Darke County, some of the largest workplaces are Midmark in Versailles, the Whirlpool-KitchenAid plant in Greenville, and Wayne Hospital Company. Very few residents work from home, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Unemployment across the county has eased slightly from a year ago, though the county has lost a small number of jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The Mississinewa River is a short drive away and offers a place to be near the water. A longer drive brings you to Grand Lake St. Marys, a large reservoir, and to Eldora Speedway, a race track. Lake Loramie State Park, also a longer drive away, is a protected area for time outdoors.

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