Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Waverly is the county seat of one of Ohio's poorer counties. Pike County's largest historical employer was the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (uranium enrichment, now in cleanup). The 2016 Rhoden family murders put the county on national news grimly. The economic picture is very depressed.
Lower score (below 6)
Pike County is among Ohio's most economically distressed — high poverty, a scarred economy from the nuclear plant closure, and the social damage of a grim high-profile crime event. Waverly has very limited social infrastructure and the community is in a difficult place. An outsider coming in without a specific reason has nothing to build on.
