What it’s like
The place. Harrod is a very small village in Allen County, Ohio, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Household incomes run above the county's, and homes in the village are valued at a middling level for the region. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Allen County, some of the largest workplaces are Ford Motor Company, St. Rita's Medical Center and Lima Memorial Hospital. The usual trip to work is a moderate one, and unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. Close by, a short drive away, are Hog Creek, a river good for a quiet look at the water, and the Ohio Theatre, a theatre for an evening out. A longer drive brings you to the Allen County Museum, which covers local history, and the Armstrong Air and Space Museum, one of the best known museums in the region.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Harrod’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Allen County and the Lima, OH metro.
