What it’s like
The place. Hamden is a small village in Vinton County, Ohio, where homes are modestly priced compared with much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, and summers turn warm in July. Rain and melted snow fall through the year, which keeps the surrounding hills green.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops also common. Across Vinton County, some of the largest workplaces are Vinton County Local Schools, Superior Hardwoods of Ohio, Inc.: McArthur Division, and LionStone Care. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and household incomes in the county run below those in much of the state, while jobs in the county grew slightly last year.
Things to do. Close by, Leo Petroglyph is an archaeological site a short drive away, and Lake Katharine State Nature Preserve and Vinton Furnace State Experimental Forest are protected areas, also a short drive off. For a longer outing, Hocking Hills State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, known for woods and rock formations. Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, an archaeological site, is also a longer drive from town.
