The board games area of Reddit has over a million subscribers. The chances are there are some people in there who live near you.
It’s reasonably common for people to post in the boardgames subreddit saying they are looking for a group, where they are located and what games they like to play. This kind of post usually gets several responses from board game players interested in meeting up.

Your Friendly Local Game Store
The Board Gamer:
If you’re lucky enough to have a FLGS, they are a great place to start your search for a board game group. FLGS often have events for gamers to meet up, sessions for people who are new to the larger games like Magic: The Gathering and they usually have a notice board with what’s happening locally
Game Tree
The Board Gamer:
Game Tree is an app available on IoS and Android. It seems to be more popular with video gamers than tabletop gamers, but it did find some baord gamers within 50km of me when I did a local search.
As part of setting up the app, you tell it what type of games you like. Then it tries to match you up with people who like the same kind of games that you do.
