What it’s like
The place. Lithopolis is a small village in Fairfield County, home to a young community where most households own their homes. Incomes run well above the county's, relatively few people live below the poverty line, and homes are valued on the higher side. A four-year degree is held by a good share of adults. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and freezing nights, while July brings warm days, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services also employing many. Across Fairfield County, some of the largest workplaces are Pickerington Methodist Hospital, Pickerington Local Schools and Fairfield Medical Center. Jobs in the county grew over the past year, and unemployment there has eased compared with a year earlier. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and a modest share of people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Alum Creek and Blacklick Creek are streams a short drive away, and Slate Run Metro Park is a protected natural area also a short drive off. A longer drive brings you to the Columbus Museum of Art, a museum for a day indoors. Between them, the creeks, the park and the museum make for easy outings close to home.
