Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lewis Center
- The cost of living in Lewis Center is 128. That is 28 points higher than the national average and 40 points higher than the Ohio average, largely due to the high cost of housing, at 182, in Lewis County.

- Lewis Center's violent crime rate is 10.8, compared to the U.S. average of 22.7. Its property crime rate is 18.1, which is about half the national average of 35.4. Despite the lower crime rate, seniors living in assisted living facilities in Lewis Center should ask what measures are in place to keep residents secure.
