What it’s like
The place. Waverly is a village and the county seat of Pike County, Ohio, with a population that is small enough for people to know one another. Household incomes run a little above the county's, though a noticeable share of residents live below the poverty line. Owners and renters each live in a good many of the homes, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults. Winters are cold, with January highs near freezing and lows well below it, while July brings warm days, and the year includes some snow and plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in Waverly are Kirchhoff Automotive, a metal stamping and automotive manufacturer, Walmart, and National Church Residences, which runs senior living. Unemployment across Pike County is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has added a small number of jobs. Many people make a commute of a typical length, and some work from home.
Things to do. Lake White State Park, a protected area, lies in or beside town, and Pee Pee Creek, a small river, runs there too. A short drive away are Scioto Trail State Park and Scioto Trail State Forest, good for walking and time outdoors. Those wanting a longer outing can drive to Serpent Mound, a well-known archaeological site that reflects the area's long Native American history.
