What it’s like
The place. Orrville is a small city in Wayne County, Ohio, with a median age a little above the national middle and incomes just below the county's. More homes here are lived in by their owners than rented, and a typical home costs less than many people might expect for a city. A four-year degree is held by a minority of adults, which fits a place where much of the work is hands-on.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in Orrville are Aultman Orrville, Orrville City Schools and The Quality Castings Company. Unemployment in Wayne County has eased compared with a year earlier, though the county has lost a small share of its jobs over the past year, and most people have a moderate drive to work, with only a few working from home.
Things to do. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and precipitation is steady through the year. For a day out, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a national park a longer drive away, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a museum a longer drive away. The Akron Zoo is also a longer drive away, for those who want an outing with children or grandchildren.
