Washington County

Washington County sits in southeastern Ohio with a population of 59,318 and 27,979 housing units. Ownership is the dominant tenure here, with 74.8 percent of occupied units owner-occupied, and renters who do choose to rent pay a median gross rent of $828 per month. The median household income of $61,355 reflects a working economy anchored largely in goods-producing and service industries throughout the county. Residents get to work relatively quickly, with an average commute of 21.5 minutes, and only 2.2 percent of workers report working from home, suggesting most employment requires a physical presence at a job site or office. The county seat of Marietta, located at the confluence of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers, serves as the commercial and civic hub for the surrounding rural townships. The housing stock, spread across both incorporated communities and unincorporated areas, gives the county a mix of small-town and rural residential character that reflects its position in the Appalachian foothills region of Ohio.
