Lancaster is the county seat of Fairfield County, 30 minutes south of the state capital, Columbus. Fairfield County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state. The growth is moving south along the U.S. 33 corridor that runs between Lancaster and Columbus. The Violet Township portion of the county is experiencing growth rates of 7 percent to 10 percent per year. The city of Lancaster and surrounding area is growing between 1 percent and 2 percent per year.

Lancaster is a shopping hub for most of the area. The exception is the northern portion of the county, which finds it easier to travel to Columbus to shop. Lancaster is home to the annual Lancaster Festival, a 12-day cultural arts and music festival that draws thousands from across the state and artists from across the nation. It's also home to the Ohio Decorative Arts Center and a number of art galleries.

The market is slightly upscale. However, it is still best described as a middle class, blue-collar/service market.
