What it’s like
The place. Marengo is a very small village in Morrow County, Ohio, home to only a handful of households compared with most towns. Residents are younger than the typical American. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs hovering just above freezing, while July is warm. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops also employing local people. A share of residents work from home. Across Morrow County, the largest workplaces include a warehousing and storage operation, along with Cardington Yutaka Technologies, which makes exhaust parts for vehicles, and Highland Local Schools. Jobs across the county were fewer last year than the year before, and unemployment there has eased since a year earlier.
Things to do. Big Walnut Creek, a river, is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Delaware State Park, a protected area for time outdoors, and to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. For something to watch, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, a race track, is also a longer drive.

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