Monroe
6.7
High score (8-10)
Monroe County has some of the most dramatic hill country terrain in Ohio — the steep wooded hollows along the Ohio River attract hunters and ATV riders. If that's your culture, the community has access points.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Woodsfield is the county seat of one of Ohio's most rural and most consistently poor southeastern counties — the terrain is beautiful steep Appalachian hill country on the Ohio River. Population has been declining steadily. The social infrastructure is almost entirely community-organized local events.
Lower score (below 6)
Monroe County is economically one of Ohio's most distressed — Woodsfield barely has 2,600 people and the county has been losing residents for decades. There is almost no social infrastructure. This is as off-the-grid as rural Ohio gets, with family and community networks that completely exclude outsiders by default.
