Hiram, Ohio—home to Hiram College and nestled within the Akron metropolitan area—is a small but dynamically evolving local economy. The village’s workforce of around 593 (2022) is primarily employed in educational services (269), accommodation and food services (99), and retail trade (68), though these figures include residents who may commute outside the village. Key industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and social assistance offer competitive average wages ranging from approximately $40,000 to $58,000 annually. Despite seeing a modest 5–6 % dip in employment from 2021 to 2022—mirroring broader rural trends—projections suggest a solid 26 % job growth over the next decade. This growth, while slightly lagging the national average, indicates steady opportunity in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, professional services, and education/healthcare, which collectively account for nearly 50 % of occupations.

The presence of Hiram College (1,000+ students) is a central driver of development—education-related employment nearly dominates the local job market, and the town supports a vibrant mix of small businesses like pizzerias, inns, salons, a pet spa, and more. Affordable housing—median rent of around $600, with home prices near $215K—paired with a low cost of living, make it appealing for remote workers, especially since telecommuting is well-established: nearly 27 % of Hiram households work from home. Combined with infrastructural assets like Far View Airport, proximity to Akron’s corporate scene, and inclusion in regional development initiatives, Hiram offers a balanced platform for entrepreneurs, remote professionals, college graduates, and small manufacturers seeking community, opportunity, and growth.
