Hot months, wet months: Jacksonville through the year

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Athens Ou, 11 miles away, put the July average high at 82°F and the January average low at 22°F. About 42 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 10 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 124 days. Winter reshuffles demand: snow removal, heating and ice-dam repairs in the cold months, yard work and construction once it thaws. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, say so in plain words and keep the contact form short.

Jacksonville: the numbers behind the market

The annual estimates show a slow decline, from 395 in 2020 to 384 in 2025. That compares with +0.9% for Ohio as a whole. Without much growth, the customers are mostly the same people every year; the website is how they remember you.

Reading the Jacksonville customer

Athens County: 63,197 residents (2025) in 10 incorporated places. Census estimates for a village this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: the median household income is $56,001 and the median age is 33.2. Broadband reaches 86.9% of homes, and 14.2% of households are online only through a phone plan. Homeowners are 60.4% of households.

• Under ADA Title III, a business open to the public should make its website usable by people with disabilities, according to the Justice Department’s guidance. ADA.gov guidance
