What it’s like
The place. Jerusalem is a very small village in Monroe County, in the hills of eastern Ohio. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than is typical across the country, and homes are modestly priced. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs that stay just above freezing, while summers are warm, with July the warmest month.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops also employing many. Across Monroe County, the largest workplaces include Switzerland of Ohio Local Schools, American Heavy Plates, which hot-rolls purchased steel, and the Riesbeck Food Markets store in Woodsfield. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county had fewer jobs last year than the year before.
Things to do. Most of what draws visitors lies a longer drive away. Barkcamp State Park and Sunfish Creek State Forest are protected areas for walking and time outdoors, and Captina Creek is a river good for a day by the water. For a change of pace, Grave Creek Mound is an archaeological site, also a longer drive away.

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