What it’s like
The place. Bergholz is a very small village in Jefferson County, Ohio, where neighbors tend to know one another. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and a four-year degree is held by fewer adults than is typical. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. A small share work from home. Across Jefferson County, there were somewhat fewer jobs last year than the year before, and unemployment has eased since a year earlier. Among the county's largest workplaces are Trinity Hospital Holding Company, Eastern Gateway Community College and Precision Castparts.
Things to do. Outdoor spots lie within a longer drive. Beaver Creek State Forest and Tomlinson Run State Park are protected areas for walking and time among the trees, and Leesville Lake is a reservoir for time on the water. Meadowcroft Rockshelter, also a longer drive away, is a museum for those who like history.

It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
