What it’s like
The place. Across Lawrence County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values sit below the national norm. Residents are in middle age on the whole, though household incomes run lower and poverty is more common than in most of the country. Winters are cold with a fair amount of snow, summers are warm, and a good deal of rain falls through the year.
Work. Joblessness has eased over the past year, and the county added jobs in the most recent year on record. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, or in professional and business services. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, the typical trip to work is fairly short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Dean State Forest lies in or beside town, a protected area for walks among the trees. Wayne National Forest is another protected area, a short drive away, and the Huntington Museum of Art is a museum a longer drive off.

It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Lawrence County and the Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH metro.
