What it’s like
The place. Crestline is a village in Crawford County with a small-town population, and most homes are lived in by their owners. The typical resident is a little older than the national median, and incomes run below the county's, with a fair number of households living under the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, summers warm, and precipitation is spread fairly evenly through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Crawford County, some of the largest workplaces are Galion Community Hospital, Galion City Schools and Imasen Bucyrus Technology. Commutes are moderate, and a modest share of people work from home. Unemployment in the county has eased over the past year, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The Sandusky River runs in or beside town, and the Black Fork Mohican River and Clear Fork Reservoir are a short drive away for time on the water. Race fans can head to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, also a short drive away. The Ohio State Reformatory, a museum, is a longer drive away.
