New Lexington

Located in Perry County in southeastern Ohio, this small city of 4,479 residents serves as the county seat and a commercial hub for the surrounding rural region. With 1,918 housing units and an owner-occupied rate of 48.0 percent, the community leans slightly toward renting, which is reflected in a median gross rent of $620 per month, well below state and national averages. The median household income stands at $43,447. The local economy draws on a mix of public administration, retail, healthcare, and light manufacturing, consistent with a county seat of this scale. Many residents commute to jobs within Perry County itself, while others travel to larger employment centers in the Columbus metropolitan area to the northwest or to Zanesville to the north. The housing stock includes a mix of older single-family homes and smaller rental properties typical of Appalachian Ohio communities that developed through the region's coal and clay industries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
