What it’s like
The place. Litchfield is a small township in Medina County, Ohio, where nearly everyone who lives here owns their home, and the population is older than in much of the country. Poverty is uncommon, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical for the county. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with government, shops and other services also employing many. Across Medina County, the largest workplaces include Westfield Group Home Office, Medina Hospital and Medina City Schools. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, and the commute to work is long, though a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Chippewa Lake Park, a former amusement park, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a longer drive away and offers a national park setting along the river. The Akron Art Museum is another longer drive away for those who enjoy a museum visit.
