What it’s like
The place. Ashley is a small village in Delaware County, one of the smaller places in the county. Incomes in the village run well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than most would expect in this part of Ohio. Homes here cost far less than in much of the surrounding county, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers turn warm in July, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing many. Across Delaware County, some of the largest workplaces are Olentangy Local Schools, Delaware City Schools and Mettler-Toledo. The typical commute is a long one, and only a small share of people work from home. Unemployment across the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Delaware State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and is the closest of the outdoor options. A longer drive brings you to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and to the Wexner Center for the Arts, a museum. Those who like motor racing can make a longer drive to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Ashley’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.
