What it’s like

The place. Bucyrus is a small city in Crawford County, Ohio, and the people who live here tend to be somewhat older than in the country as a whole. Incomes run below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line, though most homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and a typical commute is short. Winters are cold, with January highs only a little above freezing and lows well below it, and the snow is real, yet summers turn warm, with July afternoons that are properly hot. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.

Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Bucyrus are Imasen Bucyrus Technology, which makes automotive and truck parts, Bucyrus Community Hospital, and Bucyrus City Schools. Unemployment in Crawford County is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county has lost a few jobs over the past year, and only a few people work from home.

Things to do. The Sandusky River is a short drive away, and so is Brandywine Creek, which suits anyone who likes time by the water. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, a race track, and to the Ohio State Reformatory, now a museum. Mount Gilead State Park, a protected area, is also a longer drive away.
