What it’s like
The place. Fayette is a small village in Fulton County, Ohio, where homes are modest in price and the surrounding land is open and rural. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and most people drive to work rather than working from home. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers turn warm and July is the hottest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many. Across Fulton County, some of the largest workplaces are Sauder Woodworking Co, North Star BlueScope Steel and Fulton County Health Center. Jobs across the county slipped a little last year, and unemployment there is lower than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. Harrison Lake State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Goll Woods State Nature Preserve, another protected area. For a longer outing, Michigan International Speedway is a race track a longer drive away, and the St. Joseph River offers a place to be near the water.

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