What it’s like
The place. Kirkersville is a small village in Licking County, Ohio, with a population small enough that most people are likely to know one another by sight. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and typical home values are well within reach of a middle-income buyer in central Ohio. Few adults here hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the chilliest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow come through the year in fair amounts.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and banks, insurance and property. Across Licking County, the biggest workplaces include Amazon, Licking Memorial Hospital and Illuminate USA, which makes solar devices. The county has more jobs than it did a year ago, and unemployment there is lower than it was then. A typical commute is moderate, and relatively few people work from home.
Things to do. Buckeye Lake State Park and Buckeye Lake itself, a protected area and a reservoir, are a short drive away and suit time on the water or a walk along the shore. Cranberry Bog State Nature Preserve, also a short drive off, is a quiet park for a slower afternoon. For museums, the Columbus Museum of Art is a longer drive away.
