What it’s like
The place. Clearview is a very small village, and nearly everyone who lives there owns their home. Homes are valued somewhat below what is typical for the country, and a good number of residents hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, restaurants and hotels, and government. Across Ohio County, some of the largest workplaces are Wheeling Hospital, Ohio County Schools and West Liberty University. The commute to work is fairly long, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Oglebay Park, a garden, lies in or beside town, and Hodgen's Cemetery Mound, an archaeological site, is close by as well. A short drive away is the Toy and Plastic Brick Museum. For a longer outing, Grave Creek Mound is another archaeological site a longer drive away.

Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.
Natural hazards

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