What it’s like
The place. Alliance is a small city in Stark County, in northeast Ohio, with a younger population than many Ohio towns of its size. Incomes here run below the county's, and more households live on little than across the county, while homes are fairly evenly split between owners and renters. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical across the country, and most people get to work in a short drive. Winters are cold and snowy, with a good deal of rain and melted snow through the year, and summers turn warm.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and retail close behind. Among the largest workplaces in Alliance are Alliance City Schools, Alliance Community Hospital and the University of Mount Union. Across Stark County, unemployment has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. In town, the Eagles Building-Strand Theater is a theatre in or beside Alliance. A longer drive away, the First Ladies National Historic Site is a museum, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame is the best known place on the list. Quail Hollow State Park, also a longer drive, offers a protected area to walk and spend time outdoors.
