What it’s like

The place. Ansonia is a small village in Darke County, Ohio, with a population that makes it a place where neighbors tend to know one another. Residents are somewhat younger than in many rural communities, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a typical home costs less than in many parts of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.

Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Across Darke County, some of the largest workplaces are Midmark in Versailles, the Whirlpool-KitchenAid plant in Greenville, and Wayne Hospital Company. Few people work from home, and a typical commute is a fairly long one. Unemployment across the county has eased a little over the past year, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly. A small share of adults hold a four-year degree.

Things to do. Eldora Speedway, a race track, is a short drive away, as are the museums at Bear's Mill and the Garst Museum. For time on the water, Grand Lake St. Marys, a large reservoir, and the state park beside it are a longer drive away. Lake Loramie State Park is another protected area a longer drive off.
