What it’s like
The place. New Boston is a small village in Scioto County, Ohio, along the Ohio River side of the county. Household incomes are well below the county's, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than most communities would expect. Fewer homes are lived in by their owners than you would find across much of the country, and typical home values are modest. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold while summers turn warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Among the larger workplaces in New Boston are Vinyl Kraft Acquisition, which makes windows, and Osco Industries, a gray iron foundry. Unemployment across Scioto County has eased compared with a year earlier, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before, and very few residents work from home.
Things to do. The area's best-known draws are archaeological sites, and the Biggs Site and the Hardin Village Site both lie in or beside town. Tremper Mound and Works is a short drive away, and so is the Scioto River, where people can get out along the water. Spartan Municipal Stadium, also in or beside town, is a local gathering place for games.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in New Boston’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
