What it’s like
The place. Malta is a village in Morgan County, Ohio, and a very small one, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Winters are cold, with snow through the season, and summers turn warm. Homes cost well below what is typical across much of the country, and household incomes in the county run below the national picture.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops close behind. Across Morgan County, some of the largest workplaces are Morgan Local Schools, Miba Bearings US and Waterford Tank & Fabrication. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, and few people work from home.
Things to do. The country around Malta is made for time outdoors. Blue Rock State Park and Burr Oak State Park are protected areas a longer drive away, and the Muskingum River is a river a longer drive away as well. The Wilds, a zoo, is also a longer drive from the village.
