What it’s like
The place. Kensington sits in Carroll County in eastern Ohio. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and home prices run below those of the typical American home. Winters here are cold, and summers are warm.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing, shops and the building trades. Unemployment across Carroll County has fallen over the past year, and jobs have edged up slightly. Few people work from home, so most commute to work, and fewer adults hold a college degree than across the country as a whole.
Things to do. Guilford Lake State Park, a park a short drive away, has the nearby Guilford Lake for those who enjoy the water. The Pro Football Hall of Fame, the best known of the nearby museums, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Carroll County, 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 Carroll County and the Canton-Massillon, OH metro.
