Harrison County

Tucked into the hill country of eastern Ohio, Harrison County is home to roughly 14,400 residents and around 7,400 housing units. The county leans strongly toward homeownership, with about 76.7 percent of occupied units owner-occupied, and those who rent pay a median of $753 per month. The median household income sits at $53,851. Most workers commute to their jobs, averaging 26.6 minutes each way, while only about 2.2 percent work from home, suggesting that employment here is largely tied to on-site industries and trades rather than remote or office-based work. The relatively modest housing stock and high rate of owner occupancy reflect a rural county where long-term residents put down roots. Harrison County borders Cadiz as its county seat and draws on a mix of agriculture, energy extraction, and manufacturing for its economic base. The combination of a predominantly owned housing supply and below-average rents points to a county with limited rental inventory relative to its overall number of units.
