Perry County

Situated in southeastern Ohio, Perry County is a rural community of about 35,474 residents spread across 15,021 housing units. Ownership is the dominant tenure here, with 76.5 percent of occupied units owner-occupied, and median gross rent for those who do rent runs $727 per month. The median household income stands at $64,737. Residents who commute to work average 30.8 minutes each way, reflecting the county's rural geography and the likelihood that many workers travel to employment centers outside the county. Remote work remains uncommon, with just 1.2 percent of workers reporting they work from home, a figure well below state and national averages. The housing stock, at roughly 15,000 units for a population of just over 35,000, suggests a relatively low-density settlement pattern consistent with the wooded hills and small towns that define this part of Appalachian Ohio. New Lexington serves as the county seat and commercial hub for the surrounding townships.
