Method

How this list is made

Each town’s overall grade blends seven livability grades: cost of living (weight 18), safety (18), schools (16), health (14), jobs & income (12), walkability (8) and hazard risk (4). A town needs 2,500+ residents and three of the first four. Letters are national, so an A here means the same as an A in any state; the list is the same towns in the same order, ranked within Ohio. Towns without their own FBI figures are graded on the rest and their page says why.

Data years: crime 2023–2025 (FBI), Census ACS 2020–2024, CDC PLACES 2025, state school tests. How grades work

Left off: college campuses

Places where more than half the residents are college students (ACS) are graded like every town but kept off this list, since its figures mostly describe student life.

A⁺Cedarville 70% college students
B⁺Ada 50% college students
A⁻College Township 66% college students
A⁺Cedarville Township 50% college students
