North Central Ohio here. Maybe 5 - 10% wear masks. Nobody really seems to care either way. Only place I wear one is doctors office,required. I've never been asked for vaccine status or a passport. Mostly conservative but no shortage of libs around. Prices going up, shortages of completely random items becoming more frequent. Overall I like it, decent enough laws, not like some crazy states. I'd imagine a similar cost of living away from cities.
