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: 147; 130 closed

net workplaces, 2019 to 2023: -25; openings minus closings

applications to start a business, 2025: 964; +97% since 2019

businesses with no employees, 2023: 6,882; +18% 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: 6; 4 in the worst tenth of the 88

of the 85 counties with anything flagged: 46th worst; economy, environment, health, housing and household

How Tuscarawas County began

Tuscarawas County was organized on February 15, 1808 from Muskingum County, taking its name from the Tuscarawas River and the Delaware (Lenape) town of Tuscarawas that stood near present Bolivar, a name usually translated as "old town" or "open mouth." From about 1750 to 1776 the valley was the heart of the Delaware nation, whose capital Gekelemukpechunk stood at present Newcomerstown, and in 1772 Moravian missionaries led by David Zeisberger founded Schoenbrunn and Gnadenhutten here as Ohio's first Christian towns; the Revolutionary War brought Fort Laurens (1778-79), the only American fort built in Ohio during that war, and the 1782 Gnadenhutten massacre of 96 Christian Delaware and Mohican. After the Treaty of Greenville (1795), whose line forms part of the county's northern border, John Knisely platted New Philadelphia in 1804 and German Separatists founded the communal village of Zoar in 1817. The Ohio and Erie Canal (built through the county in 1825-30), the railroads and the valley's coal, iron ore and clay made Dover, New Philadelphia, Uhrichsville and Dennison into mill, steel and clay-products towns, and in World War II volunteers at the Dennison depot fed some 1.3 million passing servicemen. Today the county mixes small industrial cities and farm townships, and its Moravian mission sites, Fort Laurens and Zoar are among the most thoroughly preserved and documented early sites in Ohio.

New Philadelphia, platted by John Knisely in 1804 and named county seat when the county was organized in 1808; the 1882 courthouse by Thomas Boyd stands at 125 East High Avenue.

Almost every day here is a measurement: 97% of them come from a rain gauge standing inside Tuscarawas County itself.

48,457 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-29. 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.
