What it’s like
The place. Windham is a small village in Portage County, Ohio, home to a population too small to be called a town in the usual sense. Household incomes here run well below the county's, and homes are priced in a way that reflects that. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the winters are cold and snowy: January is the coldest month, with highs just around freezing, and summers turn warm in July.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in government. Across Portage County, some of the largest workplaces are Kent State University, UH Hospitals Portage Medical Center and Portage County itself. Commutes are on the longer side, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, West Branch State Park and Mantua Swamp, both protected areas, are a short drive away. Nelson Kennedy Ledges State Park, also a protected area, is a short drive too. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a longer drive away and worth the trip for a day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Windham’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 Portage County and the Akron, OH metro.
