More time to enjoy with family and favorite activities.
Ohio supports both professional and personal activity in an ideal balance of corporate climate and lifestyle opportunities. Ohio is unique among U.S. states in offering multiple major metropolitan areas all within easy distance of one another, balanced with convenient suburban communities and tranquil rural areas. Because the population is distributed throughout the state, commutes to work are shorter and less intense than in most major U.S. cities, leaving ample time for more enjoyable activities.

Micropolitan and Metropolitan city structure.
Ohio offers an ideal mix of big city, metropolitan and smaller micropolitan areas.
Anchored by Ohio's major metropolitan areas, the state is comprised of geographic regions with specific industry strengths and resources. Within these regions are many business friendly, affordable micropolitan areas. The U.S. Census Bureau defines a micropolitan city as a community with 10,000 to 50,000 people that has a largely self-sustaining local economy.
In 2007, Ohio was ranked No. 1 in the nation for number of attractive micropolitan and metropolitan cities for capital investment by Site Selection Magazine, one of the nation's leading location assistance publications.
