Guernsey County

Situated in the rolling hills of eastern Ohio, this county of 38,283 residents maintains a predominantly owner-occupied housing landscape, with 71.6 percent of occupied units owned rather than rented. The county's 19,024 housing units include a rental market where median gross rent stands at $803 per month. Median household income is $55,756. The local workforce is notably place-based, with only 0.8 percent of workers doing their jobs from home, meaning the vast majority commute to employment. Those commutes average 22.2 minutes, a relatively moderate travel time that reflects both the county's rural and small-town geography and the distribution of jobs across the region. Cambridge serves as the county seat and largest city, anchoring commercial and civic activity for the surrounding townships and smaller communities. The area's economy has historically been tied to manufacturing, retail trade, and healthcare, sectors that continue to employ a significant share of the local workforce.
