What it’s like
The place. Mount Orab is a village in Brown County, Ohio, with a young population: the people who live here are noticeably younger than in most of the country. Household incomes run below the county's, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical home is worth a good deal more than many would expect for a village of this size. Winters are cold, with some snow, summers are warm, and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and government close behind. Among the largest workplaces in Mount Orab are Western Brown Local Schools, Kroger Cincinnati-Dayton KMA and Milacron Mt. Orab. Brown County has added a few more jobs than a year earlier, and its unemployment has eased over the past year. The typical commute is long, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Kings Island, an amusement park, is a longer drive away and is the best known place nearby. For time outdoors, East Fork State Park is a protected area, also a longer drive away. Serpent Mound, an archaeological site, makes a longer trip as well.
