Big Prairie

Tucked into Holmes County, this small Ohio community has a population of 2,313 and a housing stock of 870 units, with a notably high owner-occupied rate of 94.1 percent, reflecting a community where homeownership is the clear norm rather than the exception. Median household income sits at $60,075. Holmes County is widely known for its large Amish and Plain community population, and that heritage shapes the local economy and landscape in visible ways, from woodworking and farming operations to small trades businesses. The broader county economy leans on manufacturing, agriculture, and skilled trades. Because of the area's traditional communities, vehicle commuting patterns differ from typical rural Ohio towns, with a meaningful share of residents traveling by horse-drawn buggy or working close to home on agricultural properties. The surrounding countryside consists of rolling farmland, and the community retains a small-town character shaped by its rural setting and the deep-rooted traditions of Holmes County residents.
