Two places on this list straddle county lines. Pickerington and Canal Winchester both sit mostly
\nin Franklin County; the populations above are citywide, and only their eastern edges reach into
\nFairfield. Lithopolis runs the other way — most of the village is in Fairfield’s Bloom and
\nViolet townships, with a small western strip extending into Franklin County. Hide-A-Way Hills is
\nsplit between Fairfield’s Rush Creek Township and Marion Township in neighboring Hocking County;
\nthe count above is for the whole community. West Rushville, an unincorporated crossroads near
\nRushville, has no separate census count and is not listed as its own row.<\/p>\n

Rush Creek Township is the only one of the county’s 13 townships with a separately published
\n2020 census figure among the sources checked for this page; the rest are folded into their cities
\nand villages or into the county’s unincorporated totals, so their standalone counts are left
\nblank rather than estimated.<\/p>\n
