What it’s like
The place. Leesburg is a small village in Highland County, Ohio, and most people there know one another by sight if not by name. Household incomes are higher than across the county as a whole, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect in a rural area. Winters are cold, with a modest amount of snow, and summers turn warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and transport and warehouse jobs also common. Across Highland County, some of the largest workplaces are Hillsboro City Schools, Highland District Hospital and Candle-lite. Commutes are fairly long, and few people work from home. Across the county, unemployment is lower than a year ago, though there are fewer jobs than there were the year before.
Things to do. Lees Creek and Rattlesnake Creek, both rivers, are a short drive away and suit a quiet afternoon by the water. A longer drive brings you to Serpent Mound, one of the best known archaeological sites in the region, and to Paint Creek State Park, a protected area for walking and time outdoors. Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, also a longer drive away, preserves more of the area's ancient earthworks.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Leesburg’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.
