What it’s like
The place. Powhatan Point is a small village on the Ohio side of the Ohio River, in Belmont County. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest. Incomes in the village are on the lower side, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is common across the country. Winters are cold, with a fair amount of snow, and summers are warm, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in professional and business services. Across Belmont County, some of the largest workplaces are Patterson-UTI Drilling Company, East Ohio Hospital and Walmart. The county has lost a few jobs over the past year, though unemployment there is lower than it was a year earlier. Few people work from home, and a typical commute is of moderate length.
Things to do. Captina Creek, a river, runs in or beside town. A short drive away are Grave Creek Mound, an archaeological site, and Sunfish Creek State Forest, a protected area of woodland. Grave Creek, another river, is also a short drive away.
