The place. North Lawrence is a very small community in Stark County, Ohio, home to far fewer people than most towns. Homes here are valued well above what the county's household incomes alone might suggest, and the place keeps a quiet, residential feel. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and precipitation falls fairly evenly through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Stark County, some of the largest workplaces are Aultman Hospital, Canton City Schools and Metallus, a steel manufacturer. Unemployment across the county has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Portage Lakes State Park is a protected area a short drive away, good for time by the water. Farther afield, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is one of the best known museums in the area, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a national park a longer drive away.
