Is Ohio a good place for a master electrician to live?
Whats the weather like? I hate heat. Small town not too far from a city?
Weather wise it is similar to NY where I am from. Cold winters, hot humid summers. Fact is there isn't really many places you will escape the summertime heat unless you move to the mountains.
It's a little less humid than say NY because of its position to the Great Lakes but not by much.
By and large I am going to go out on a limb and say anywhere you go to escape hot summer heat is likely to have less work and probably less pay, but that might also come with lower costs of living so it might balance out or even mean more in pocket cash. Sorta how I could make a lot more money doing what I do now somewhere else, but the cost of living here also means I actually put more in my pocket than I would in the cities and that is really what matters most. Or like how no tradesman in their right mind takes travel work to NYC despite being paid almost double, knowing they ain't going to see any of the extra pay go anywhere but in the expenses of being there.

Have you thought about West Virginia? Beautiful countryside, and in the northern part of the state, you're not too far from the suburbs of Washington, DC. Jefferson County, Harpers Ferry area, is about 1.5 - 2 hours from Washington, DC, with prosperous (among the wealthiest in the country) counties between -- Loudoun, Prince William, Fairfax, Arlington, and just across the river from Montgomery, Frederick, and Howard in Maryland. You could also find something similar in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, around Winchester to Front Royal, again, close to growing Washington, DC suburbs.
The only downside can be traffic the closer you are to DC, but might not be a bad option for a career path for a master electrician, especially as there are opportunities in new construction, residential and commercial, and existing repair and maintenance with companies in the area.
