Monroe County

Tucked into the southeastern corner of Ohio, Monroe County is a rural county of 13,308 residents spread across 7,147 housing units. Ownership is the dominant form of tenure here, with 82.4 percent of occupied units owner-occupied, a figure well above national averages. For those who rent, the median gross rent stands at $626 per month. The local economy sends most workers out of the county each day, with the average commute running 32.4 minutes, one of the longer typical travel times that reflects the region's rural character and the distance many residents travel to reach employment centers. Remote work remains minimal, with only 2.0 percent of workers doing their jobs from home. Median household income is $58,962. The county seat of Woodsfield serves as the commercial and civic hub for a population that otherwise lives across small villages and unincorporated townships, a settlement pattern common to Appalachian Ohio and shaped by the area's historically agricultural and resource-based economy.
