What it’s like
The place. Minster is a small village in Auglaize County, Ohio, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in and poverty is rare. The population is younger than in much of the country, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and the village gets a fair amount of snow, while summers turn warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, or in shops. Some of the largest workplaces in Minster are Nidec Minster, Crown Equipment Corporation Minster and Minster Local Schools. Unemployment across Auglaize County is lower than it was a year earlier, and the commute is short for most people.
Things to do. Lake Loramie State Park, a protected area, lies in or beside town, as does the Bicycle Museum of America. A short drive away are the Shrine of the Holy Relics, a museum, and the St. Marys River. A longer drive leads to Grand Lake St. Marys, a large reservoir.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Minster’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 Auglaize County and the Wapakoneta, OH metro.
