What it’s like
The place. Hammondsville is a small town in Jefferson County, in the eastern part of Ohio. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and home values sit below the national typical. Incomes in the county are lower than the state's, and the Census figures behind this page cover the whole county rather than the town alone.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Across the county, the number of jobs fell in the most recent year, and unemployment is higher than it was not long ago. Most people travel to work by car, and working from home is less common here than in many places.
Things to do. Tomlinson Run State Park is a protected area a short drive away, suited to walking and time outdoors. Beaver River, a longer drive off, is a river where people spend time on the water and along its banks. Meadowcroft Rockshelter, also a longer drive away, is a museum that looks at very old human history in the region.
