What it’s like
The place. Frankfort is a small Ross County village, home to a modest number of people. Most households own the homes they live in, and incomes run somewhat higher than across the county as a whole. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm by July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Ross County, some of the largest workplaces are Paccar, which assembles heavy trucks, and Adena Regional Medical Center, a general hospital. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is fairly long.
Things to do. Hopewell Culture National Historical Park and Adena Mound are both archaeological sites a short drive away, and Biers Run, a small river, is also close by. For a longer outing, Serpent Mound is another archaeological site, and Great Seal State Park is a protected area where there is room to walk and spend a day outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Frankfort’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 Ross County and the Chillicothe, OH metro.
