What it’s like
The place. North Lima is a small community in Mahoning County, Ohio, where every home is lived in by its owner. Household incomes in the county run a little below what many other parts of the country see, and the share of people living below the poverty line is modest. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying just above freezing at best, while July brings the warmest days, comfortably warm rather than hot.
Work. Residents mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the larger workplaces in North Lima itself are Sheely's Furniture & Appliance Co, Diamond Steel, and Dart Trucking, which reflect the town's ties to retail, steelwork and freight. Jobs across the county slipped slightly last year, and unemployment there is about where it was a year earlier.
Things to do. A short drive away, Mill Creek Park is a protected area of green space, and Evans Lake offers a quiet spot by the water. Idora Park, an amusement park, is also close by. For a longer outing, the Butler Institute of American Art is a museum that makes a worthwhile day trip.

It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
