What it’s like
The place. Belmont is a very small village in eastern Ohio, home to few people. Household incomes in town run higher than across Belmont County, and a modest share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and freezing nights, and summers are warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing many. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a fairly long one. Across Belmont County, East Ohio Hospital and Walmart are among the largest workplaces, and the county has lost a few jobs over the past year, though unemployment there has eased from a year earlier.
Things to do. Barkcamp State Park, a protected area, sits in or beside town and is the nearest place to get outdoors. A short drive away are Egypt Valley Wildlife Area, another protected area, and the Great Western Schoolhouse, a museum. Those willing to go farther can reach Oglebay Park, a garden, a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- LightningRelatively high
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Belmont’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Belmont County and the Wheeling, WV-OH metro.
