What it’s like
The place. New Concord is a village in Muskingum County, and it reads as a college town: residents are far younger than in most of the country, and a large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Fewer homes are lived in by their owners than across much of the country, with more renters, which fits a place built around a university. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while July brings warm summer days and the year is fairly wet.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in shops, and in manufacturing. The largest workplaces in New Concord include Muskingum University, East Muskingum Local Schools and Guernsey Muskingum Electric Cooperative. The commute is fairly short, and few people work from home. Unemployment across Muskingum County has come down from a year earlier, and the county has added a few more jobs.
Things to do. The John and Annie Glenn Museum is in or beside town, and it is the most familiar stop for visitors. A short drive away, Leatherwood Creek is a river for a quiet walk along the water. Farther afield, The Wilds is a zoo reached by a longer drive.

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