What it’s like
The place. Wapakoneta is a small city where most homes are lived in by their owners, and people tend to be a little older than across much of the country. Household incomes run below the county's, and typical home values sit in a middle range for a small Ohio city. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers turn warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in shops, with professional and business services also employing many. Among the largest workplaces in town are Wapakoneta City Schools, Walmart and Audia. Commutes are fairly short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. The Armstrong Air and Space Museum is in or beside town. A short drive away are the St. Marys River and Fort Amanda State Park, a good choice for a day outdoors. For more water, Grand Lake St. Marys, a reservoir, is a longer drive away.
