What it’s like

The place. Irondale is a very small village on the Ohio River side of Jefferson County, home to far fewer people than the typical American town. Household incomes across Jefferson County are modest, and homes in the village are inexpensive compared with much of the country. Winters are cold and summers warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.

Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Few people work from home, and the typical trip to work is a long one. Across Jefferson County, the largest workplaces include Eastern Gateway Community College, Trinity Hospital Holding Company and Franciscan University of Steubenville.

Things to do. Tomlinson Run State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Congo Run, a river, is also close by. A longer drive brings you to Meadowcroft Rockshelter, a museum, and to Beaver Creek State Forest, another protected area.

Natural hazards

  1. Inland floodingRelatively moderate

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Irondale’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 Jefferson County and the Weirton-Steubenville, WV-OH metro.
