What it’s like
The place. Lockbourne is a very small village in Pickaway County, Ohio, home to far fewer people than most towns. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and a modest share of residents live below the poverty line.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by retail, the building trades and manufacturing. Across Pickaway County, some of the largest workplaces are Berger Hospital, Teays Valley Local Schools and the Sofidel paper mill. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Alum Creek and Blacklick Creek are both a short drive away and make easy outings for a walk by the water. Farther afield, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and the Columbus Museum of Art are each a longer drive away. Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, an archaeological site, is also a longer drive, for those interested in the region's early history.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lockbourne’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Pickaway County and the Columbus, OH metro.
