What it’s like
The place. Burbank is a very small village in Wayne County, Ohio, where most people know one another by sight if not by name. Homes here are worth more than the county's incomes might suggest, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places. Winters are cold, with January highs hovering around freezing, and a good deal of snow falls over the season. Summers are warm without being extreme, and rain and melted snow come through steadily across the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. The commute is a fairly long one, and very few people work from home. Across Wayne County, some of the largest workplaces are Schaeffler Transmission, Wooster Community Hospital and The College of Wooster. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. A short drive away, Chippewa Lake Park is an amusement park and the Northern Ohio Railway Museum is a museum for those who like railroad history. Killbuck Creek, also a short drive off, is a river for a quiet day by the water. For a longer outing, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a national park 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 Burbank’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Wayne County and the Wooster, OH metro.
