What it’s like

The place. Niles is a city in Trumbull County, Ohio, and its residents are older than the typical American's. Household incomes run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than most would expect of a place this size. More homes are lived in by their owners than rented, and homes and rents are both on the modest side. A four-year degree is held by a minority of adults, and winters are cold and snowy, with warm summers and a good deal of rain and melted snow through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, manufacturing, and shops. Among the largest workplaces in Niles are Niles City Schools, Dinesol Plastics, and Macali's Deluxe Supermarkets. Unemployment across Trumbull County has eased a little over the past year, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before. A typical commute is a fairly short one, and few people work from home.

Things to do. The McKinley Birthplace Home and Research Center, a museum in or beside town, tells the story of the president born here. A short drive away are the Butler Institute of American Art, a well-known museum, and Fellows Riverside Gardens, a botanical garden. For a longer outing, Mill Creek Park is a protected area that takes more of a drive to reach.
