What it’s like
The place. North Fairfield is a village in Huron County, Ohio, and a very small one. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run above the county's. A fairly large share of residents live below the poverty line, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July is the warmest and warm rather than hot, with a good deal of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Huron County, some of the largest workplaces are Fisher-Titus Medical Center, Pepperidge Farm and Norwalk City Schools. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and almost nobody works from home.
Things to do. The Norwalk Theatre is a short drive away. Cedar Point, the amusement park on Lake Erie, is a longer drive, as is the Ohio State Reformatory, a museum in a historic prison building. The Sandusky River is another longer drive for those who like to be near the water.
