What it’s like
The place. Rock Creek is a small village in Ashtabula County, in the far northeastern corner of Ohio. It is a quiet place where most residents know one another, and homes here are priced a good deal above what households in the county typically earn would suggest. Few adults hold a four-year degree compared with much of the country, and the commute to work tends to be a long one.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, the building trades, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Ashtabula County, the largest workplaces include Ashtabula County Medical Center, the Cabinetworks Group Orwell Plant and Ashtabula Area City Schools. Jobless rates in the county are lower than a year ago, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow. Within a longer drive are Pymatuning State Park, a protected area built around the reservoir, and Geneva State Park, another protected area. The Ashtabula River, a river, is also a longer drive away.
