Why move to Ohio?
On the data, the answer to "why move to Ohio" comes back to beach-style summers without the ocean.
Beach-style summers without the ocean
Ohio's Great Lakes coastline is a real geographic asset that's easy to forget about until you've lived near it. Summer life in lakeside towns rivals what you'd get on the ocean, the water is fresh (no salt corrosion, no jellyfish), and winter brings lake-effect snow that locals either love or accept as the price of admission.
Reasons reflect aggregated city data for Ohio (Census ACS, BLS, BEA) plus well-known state-level geography. We only list points that are actually supported — different states show different sections.
