Meigs County

Nestled in southeastern Ohio along the Ohio River, this rural county of 22,072 residents has a housing stock of 10,669 units, with 75.4 percent of occupied homes owner-occupied, reflecting a strong preference for homeownership over renting. Median gross rent sits at $704 per month. The median household income is $46,701. Getting to work takes residents a meaningful amount of time, with the average commute running 31.6 minutes, and just 0.5 percent of workers primarily work from home, suggesting most employment requires a physical presence at a jobsite or office. The county seat of Pomeroy sits on the Ohio River, and the county's geography, marked by hilly terrain and the river corridor, shapes daily life and access to employment centers in surrounding areas. The combination of high homeownership, moderate rents, and longer commute times points to a community where residents frequently travel outside the county for work.
