What it’s like
The place. Buckland is a very small village in Auglaize County, in western Ohio. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and incomes in Auglaize County are fairly comfortable, with few residents living below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while July brings warm summer days and the year is reasonably wet.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, followed by schools, hospitals and social care, shops, and professional and business services. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is a moderate drive, so most people travel some distance to their jobs. Across Auglaize County, the largest workplaces include Crown Equipment Corporation New Bremen, Nidec Minster and Wapakoneta City Schools, and unemployment there is lower than it was a year ago.
Things to do. A short drive away is Fort Amanda State Park, and the St. Marys River is close by as well, for time outdoors. The Armstrong Air and Space Museum, also a short drive away, is one of the best known museums in the region. For a longer outing, Grand Lake St. Marys is a large reservoir a longer drive away.

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