What it’s like

The place. Berkey is a very small village in Lucas County, with households whose incomes run well above the county's and very few people living below the poverty line. Almost every home is lived in by its owner, and the typical home is worth a good deal. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing many. Across Lucas County, some of the largest workplaces are The Toledo Hospital, the University of Toledo and Toledo City Schools. The trip to work is fairly long for many people, and only a few work from home. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the number of jobs has held roughly steady.

Things to do. Wildwood Preserve Metropark, a protected area, and Toledo Botanical Garden are both a short drive away, and Secor Metropark is another short drive for time outdoors. For a museum visit, the Toledo Museum of Art is a longer drive away.
