Morgan County

Tucked into the hill country of southeastern Ohio, Morgan County is a small, largely rural community of about 13,758 residents spread across 7,311 housing units. Owner-occupancy is notably high at 77.2 percent, reflecting a population that is predominantly settled and rooted in the area, while renters pay a median gross rent of $713 per month. The median household income stands at $55,971. Commutes here are longer than national averages, with residents averaging 37.9 minutes to work each way, a figure that speaks to the county's distance from major employment centers and the need to travel to surrounding areas for work. Remote work remains uncommon, with just 1.1 percent of workers doing their jobs from home. The housing stock reflects the county's rural character, and the combination of high homeownership and modest rent levels points to a relatively stable residential base where most households have chosen to put down roots rather than rent.
