What it’s like
The place. Hicksville is a small village in Defiance County, in the northwest corner of Ohio. Residents are younger than in many small towns, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs hovering just above freezing, while July brings warm days, and the year's rain and melted snow is moderate.
Work. Manufacturing is the biggest source of work for people who live here, followed by shops, then schools, hospitals and social care, and the building trades. The largest workplaces in Hicksville include the Hicksville Exempted Village School District, Sabre Industries, which makes fabricated structural metal, and Nemco Food Equipment, a maker of slicing machinery. Most people have a fairly short drive to work, and a small group work from home. Across Defiance County, unemployment is lower than a year ago, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. The best known place nearby is the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, a museum for classic car lovers, and it is a longer drive away. Also a longer drive off is the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, a good outing with grandchildren. For time by the water, the Auglaize River is another longer drive away.
