What it’s like
The place. Carey is a village in Wyandot County, Ohio, home to a small community of residents. Residents tend to be around the middle of the age range for the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run above the county's, and poverty is relatively uncommon. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the commute to work is short.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Wyandot County, some of the largest workplaces are CSP Innovations, which makes awnings and plastic and fiberglass products, Prospira America, a maker of mechanical rubber goods, and Wyandot Memorial Hospital. The county has seen slightly fewer jobs than a year earlier, though unemployment is lower than it was then.
Things to do. For a day out, Van Buren State Park is a protected area beside Van Buren Lake, a reservoir, though both are a longer drive away. Also a longer drive away is the Hancock Historical Museum, and the Mazza Museum of International Art from Picture Books is another museum for those who enjoy illustrated children's literature. Winters here are cold, summers warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.

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