What it’s like
The place. Yellow Springs is a village, and a small one, with an older population than most of the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with a fair amount of snow, and summers turn warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Greene County, Wright State University and Beavercreek City Schools are among the largest workplaces. A typical commute is a modest one, and a good number of people work from home. Incomes in the village run below the county's, and unemployment in Greene County has eased over the past year.
Things to do. Several places lie in or beside town, including Glen Helen Nature Preserve, John Bryan State Park and the Little Miami Scenic Trail, which suit walking and time outdoors. A short drive away is the Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument. For something larger, the National Museum of the United States Air Force is 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 Yellow Springs’ 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 Greene County and the Dayton-Kettering, OH metro.
