What it’s like
The place. Middleport is a small village on the Ohio River in Meigs County, home to a modest number of people. Incomes here run below the county's, and more residents live below the poverty line than most would expect, though most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are modest. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold, with highs near freezing in January and a fair amount of snow, while summers turn warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, and in manufacturing. Across Meigs County, the largest workplaces include Meigs Local Schools, Southern Local Schools and Arbors at Pomeroy, a skilled nursing facility. The commute is a fairly long one, very few people work from home, and unemployment across the county has eased from a year earlier even as the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Leading Creek runs in or beside town, and the Hobson Site, an archaeological site, is also close by. A short drive away is McClintic Wildlife Management Area, a protected area for walking and watching wildlife. Tu-Endie-Wei State Park is a longer drive away, set where the Kanawha River meets the Ohio.
