What it’s like
The place. Baltimore is a small village in Fairfield County. More of its homes are lived in by their owners than rented, and a typical home is valued well above what many older homeowners elsewhere in Ohio might expect. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm in July. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, restaurants and hotels, and government also employing a good number. Across Fairfield County, the largest workplaces include Pickerington Methodist Hospital, Pickerington Local Schools and Fairfield Medical Center. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many places, and most people commute to work rather than working from home.
Things to do. Buckeye Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away and is the nearest place for time on the water. A longer drive brings you to the Columbus Museum of Art and the Wexner Center for the Arts, museums for an afternoon indoors. The Ohio Theatre, also a longer drive away, is a theatre for an evening out.

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