Businesses opening and closing

How many workplaces with employees opened and closed each year since 1978, how many people applied to start a business, and how many businesses run with no employees at all.

workplaces opened in 2023: 83; 101 closed

net workplaces, 2019 to 2023: -76; openings minus closings

applications to start a business, 2025: 537; +101% since 2019

businesses with no employees, 2023: 3,341; +8% since 2012

A workplace here is one location with paid employees: a chain with five stores is five. An application to start a business is a request for a federal employer number, not an opening, and most applicants never hire anyone.

What stands out

Where this county sits among Ohio's 88 on the measures the atlas tracks, and the sentences the inference engine built from them. Rankings and associations only: nothing here says one measure causes another, and a county-level pattern is not a fact about anyone who lives here.

measures flagged for this county: 4; 1 in the worst tenth of the 88

of the 85 counties with anything flagged: 59th worst; economy, environment

losing ground on Ohio: 3; the gap to the state is widening

peer group the engine compares it against: small metro and micropolitan

"Losing ground on Ohio" compares trends, not levels: a county can be losing ground while its own number improves, if the rest of the state improved faster over the same years.

How Sandusky County began

Sandusky County was formally established by the Ohio legislature on February 12, 1820, carved from the Lower Sandusky Township lands that had been attached to Huron County since 1815, and it was organized for full county government the following year. It takes its name from the Sandusky River, itself from a Wyandot word rendered "saandustee" and generally translated as relating to water or a spring; the river runs northeast across the county to Sandusky Bay on Lake Erie. Fremont, the county seat, grew up around the federal Two Mile Square Reserve at the site of the War of 1812's Fort Stephenson and was known as Lower Sandusky until it was renamed for explorer John C. Fremont in 1849. The county's land had been Wyandot and Seneca country within living memory of its own founding: the Wyandot war chief Tarhe lived at Lower Sandusky until 1795, a Seneca reservation covered parts of two of the county's townships into the 1830s, and the county organized only three years after the neighboring Wyandot reservation's 1817 creation at Upper Sandusky.

Almost every day here is a measurement: 99% of them come from a rain gauge standing inside Sandusky County itself.

48,745 days of records, 1893-04-01 to 2026-10-28. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-10-31): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-10-31 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
