What it’s like
The place. Waynesfield is a small village in Auglaize County, home to a small community of residents. It is a young place for Ohio, with a median age well below what older homeowners may expect, and nearly all of its homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Across Auglaize County, some of the largest workplaces are Crown Equipment Corporation in New Bremen, American Rheinmetall in St. Marys and Wapakoneta City Schools. Jobs are plentiful enough that unemployment in the county has eased over the past year, and the typical commute is a moderate one, with few people working from home.
Things to do. Lake Ridge Island Mounds and Zimmerman Kame, both archaeological sites, are a short drive away. For water, Indian Lake and Grand Lake St. Marys are reservoirs a longer drive off, and the Armstrong Air and Space Museum is a longer drive too. Winters here are cold and summers warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Waynesfield’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Auglaize County and the Wapakoneta, OH metro.
