The place. North Benton sits in Mahoning County, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Across the county, the typical resident is in the middle years of life, and a meaningful share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Unemployment across the county has edged down over the past year, while the number of jobs has slipped a little. Few people work from home, and a minority of adults hold a four-year degree.
Things to do. The Pro Football Hall of Fame, a museum, is a longer drive away, and the Akron Art Museum, also a museum, is a longer drive away. Lake Milton State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and suits a slower afternoon outdoors.
