Jacobsburg

Tucked into Belmont County in eastern Ohio, this small community of 2,076 residents has one of the higher owner-occupancy rates found anywhere in the region, with 95.1 percent of its 935 housing units occupied by their owners. That figure points to a community where long-term residency is the norm rather than the exception, and where rental inventory is correspondingly limited. The median household income of $57,019 places residents in a modest but stable economic range typical of rural Appalachian Ohio. Belmont County's economy has historically leaned on energy production, manufacturing, and healthcare employment, and many residents commute to larger nearby centers such as St. Clairsville or Wheeling, West Virginia, just across the state line. The surrounding landscape reflects the rolling hills and wooded terrain of the upper Ohio Valley, and the area sits within reasonable driving distance of Interstate 70, which connects commuters and travelers to Columbus to the west and the Pittsburgh metro area to the east.
