What the Census counts in Octavia

The customers behind the numbers in Octavia

Octavia is one of 12 municipalities in Butler County, a county of 8,507 people. Census estimates for a village this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: households have a median income of $79,268, and half the residents are older than 42.8. Broadband reaches 86.2% of homes, and 12.9% of households are online only through a phone plan. Homeowners are 79.9% of households.

Where Octavia customers come from

Octavia’s nearest neighbors are Abie (5.7 miles east), Bruno (6.8 miles southeast) and Schuyler (7.1 miles north). Butler County’s county seat is David City, 7.4 miles to the southwest. The nearest large city is Lincoln, 42 miles to the southeast. A 25-mile radius around Octavia takes in 27 other municipalities. The nearest airport with an IATA code is Columbus Municipal Airport (OLU), 16 miles northwest. Customers in David City and Bruno will ask the same thing: do you work here? A service area page answers before they have to.

The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, David City, is 7.8 miles from Octavia. It records an average high of 86°F in July and an average low of 12°F in January. Rain adds up to about 30 inches a year, falling on about 58 days with a tenth of an inch or more. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 27 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 147 days. Cold winters mean furnace repair, snow removal, roofing and auto service, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, state it clearly and keep the contact form short.

In Butler County, the Census counted 221 businesses with employees and 662 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Construction accounts for 14.5% of the county’s employer establishments, ahead of retail trade (10.9%) and other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (10.9%). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.
