What it’s like
The place. Bremen is a small village in Fairfield County, home to a small community where most households own the home they live in. Incomes here run well below the county's, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than you might expect for the county as a whole. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers are warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Fairfield County, some of the largest workplaces are Pickerington Methodist Hospital, Fairfield Medical Center and Pickerington Local Schools. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many towns, commutes tend to be long, and few people work from home. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Clear Creek, a river, and Clear Creek Metro Park are both a short drive away, as is Rockbridge State Nature Preserve, a protected area. For a longer day out, Hocking Hills State Park is a longer drive away and is one of the best known protected areas in this part of Ohio.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bremen’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
