What it’s like
The place. Johnstown is a small city in Licking County, Ohio. Household incomes here run above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than a place of this size might lead you to expect. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home value and typical rent both sit on the high side. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying near freezing, while July brings warm summers, and the year's rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, banks and insurance, and the building trades also employing a good number. The largest workplaces in town include Johnstown-Monroe Local Schools, TECH International, which makes tire repair materials, and the Kroger grocery store. Unemployment across Licking County is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year. A typical commute is a moderate drive, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. Morris Woods State Nature Preserve is a park a short drive away, good for a walk in the trees. A longer drive brings you to Columbus, where the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and the Columbus Museum of Art are among the best-known places to spend a day. Sports fans can also make the longer trip to Ohio Stadium.
