What it’s like
The place. Dry Run is a small community in Hamilton County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, a far higher share than across the county. Household incomes run well above the county's, very few residents live below the poverty line, and most adults hold a four-year degree. The people who live here are typically in middle age, and homes are valued well above what is usual across the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the hottest. Rain and melted snow fall throughout the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in banks, insurance and property, professional and business services, and manufacturing. A good number work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one. Across Hamilton County, the largest workplaces include Children's Hospital Medical Center, the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Public Schools. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the county has a few fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is a short drive away, as is the Cincinnati Art Museum, which makes for a quiet indoor afternoon. The Stanley M. Rowe Arboretum, a botanical garden, is also a short drive away for those who prefer a walk among the plantings. Kings Island, an amusement park, is a longer drive.
