What it’s like

The place. Hartville is a village in Stark County, Ohio, home to a small community of residents. Household incomes run a bit above the county's, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than a look at many small towns might suggest. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a sizable part of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, the building trades, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. In town, the largest workplaces include Lake Local Schools, Heritage Truck Equipment and Randolph Tool Co, a machine shop. Across Stark County, unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than the year before. A fair number of residents work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.

Things to do. The Tuscarawas River runs in or beside town, and Quail Hollow State Park, a protected area, is also in or beside town. A short drive away, Wingfoot Lake State Park offers more protected shoreline and woods to walk. For a longer drive, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a national park, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a museum devoted to the game.
