What it’s like
The place. Cheshire is a very small village in Gallia County, Ohio, where everyone is likely to know the neighbors. Homes here cost well below what is typical across much of the country, and household incomes across Gallia County sit modestly in the middle of what Ohio counties see. Very few adults in the village hold a four-year degree, and almost no one works from home.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Gallia County, some of the largest workplaces are Holzer, the general hospital, Gallia County Local Schools, and Gallipolis City Schools. Jobs across the county grew slightly last year, and unemployment in Gallia County is lower than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. McClintic Wildlife Management Area, a protected area, lies in or beside town, as does the Hobson Site, an archaeological site. A short drive away are the Kanawha River and Tu-Endie-Wei State Park, a protected area. Winters are cold, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Cheshire’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Gallia County and the Point Pleasant, WV-OH metro.
