What it’s like
The place. Elmore is a small village in Ottawa County, and its residents tend to be younger than in many small towns. Most homes are lived in by their owners, at a rate well above what is typical across the country, and household incomes run above the county's. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest; rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and shops also employing many. Across Ottawa County, some of the largest workplaces are Materion's Elmore plant, which makes copper alloy strip, the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant, and H B Magruder Memorial Hospital. The commute is a fairly typical one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Schedel Arboretum and Gardens, a botanical garden, is in or beside town. A longer drive away are Maumee Bay State Park and the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, both protected areas, and the Toledo Museum of Art, a museum in the city.
