What it’s like
The place. Thornville is a village where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and household incomes run well above the county's, with very few people living below the poverty line. Homes here are worth a good deal more than is typical for Perry County, and a four-year degree is held by a fair number of adults. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops also employing many. Across Perry County, some of the largest workplaces are Ludowici Roof Tile Co, a clay tile manufacturer, PCC Airfoils, which makes prototype parts for aircraft engines, and the New Lexington School District. A typical commute is a fairly short drive, and a modest number of people work from home. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Buckeye Lake State Park, a protected area, lies in or beside town, and Buckeye Lake itself, a reservoir, is a short drive away. Also a short drive off is Dawes Arboretum, a botanical garden. For a longer outing, Alligator Effigy Mound, an archaeological site, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Thornville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Perry County and the Columbus, OH metro.
