What it’s like

The place. Clarksburg is a very small village in Ross County, Ohio, where residents are noticeably younger than in much of the country. Few adults hold a four-year degree. A typical home here is valued below what many American homes sell for, and the county's household incomes are modest. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and restaurants and hotels also employing many people. Across Ross County, some of the largest workplaces are Paccar, which builds heavy trucks, Adena Regional Medical Center, and Chillicothe City Schools. The job market has been softer lately, with fewer jobs across the county than a year earlier, though unemployment has eased since last year. Many people commute a fair way to work, and some work from home.

Things to do. The area is rich in ancient earthworks. David Stitt Mound, an archaeological site, is a short drive away, while Hopewell Culture National Historical Park is a longer drive away. For time outdoors, Paint Creek is a river a longer drive away, and Great Seal State Park, a protected area, is also a longer drive from the village.
