Meigs
7.5
High score (8-10)
Meigs County has some Ohio River scenery and Forked Run State Park for outdoor recreation. If you're genuinely into rural Appalachian outdoor life — hunting, fishing — the community engages on those terms.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Pomeroy is the county seat — a small Ohio River town on a narrow strip between the river bluff and the water. The county is consistently among Ohio's poorest. The terrain is steep Appalachian hills with some recreation value. Social infrastructure is minimal for a county of 23,000 people.
Lower score (below 6)
Meigs County is one of Ohio's poorest — economically depressed, small, and with almost no social infrastructure for outsiders. Pomeroy has 1,800 people and the county has been losing population for decades. There is nothing here for an outsider to build on socially.
