What it’s like
The place. Apple Creek is a small village in Wayne County, Ohio, where most homes are lived in by their owners and far fewer people rent than in many towns. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than in the country as a whole. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Some of the largest workplaces in the village itself are Precision Products Group, which makes fiber tubes from purchased paperboard, Casa di Sassi, which makes patio block and concrete, and JAE Tech, which rebuilds transmissions for cars, trucks and buses. Most people drive a fair distance to work, and some work from home.
Things to do. For a day out, the Akron Art Museum and the Canton Museum of Art are both art museums within a longer drive. The Pro Football Hall of Fame, one of the best known museums in the region, is also a longer drive away. For time by the water, Killbuck Creek is a river a longer drive from the village.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Apple Creek’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 Wayne County and the Wooster, OH metro.
