Newport

Situated in Washington County, Newport is a small Ohio community of about 1,231 residents spread across 597 housing units. Ownership is the dominant tenure here, with 95.4 percent of occupied units owner-occupied, one of the higher ownership rates found in communities of this size. The median household income of $89,883 places Newport well above many comparably sized rural Ohio towns. The compact housing stock reflects the community's modest footprint, and the tight ratio of residents to units suggests relatively low vacancy overall. Washington County's economy draws on agriculture, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors centered in the broader Marietta area, and many Newport residents likely commute outward for work given the community's rural character and small commercial base. The Little Hocking River corridor and the broader Ohio River valley define the landscape around Newport, giving it a distinct geographic identity within the county's mix of small towns and agricultural land.
