What it’s like
The place. Saint Leon is a very small town in Dearborn County, Indiana, where neighbors tend to know one another. Homes here are valued well above what many places in the country ask, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with snow most years, summers turn properly hot, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Dearborn County, the biggest workplaces include Indiana Gaming Company, a riverboat casino, ST Elizabeth Dearborn, a general hospital, and Proximo Distillers Indiana. Jobs in the county grew over the past year, and unemployment there has stayed low, a little lower than a year earlier.
Things to do. The best known places nearby are in and around Cincinnati, a longer drive away. The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is a zoo with gardens, and the Cincinnati Art Museum is an art museum. Closer to the countryside, Perfect North Slopes is a ski area, also a longer drive away, which suits the snowy winters.
