What it’s like
The place. Racine is a small village on the Ohio River in Meigs County, home to a very small population even by village standards. Homes here cost less than across much of the country, and household incomes in the county run below the national picture. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many other places. Winters are cold, with chilly days and nights that dip below freezing, and summers turn properly warm by July. Snowfall is light for a cold-winter place, and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Meigs County, the biggest workplaces include Meigs Local Schools, Southern Local Schools and Arbors at Pomeroy, a skilled nursing facility. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly. Very few people work from home.
Things to do. The Shade River, a short drive away, is one of the nearer places to get out on the water, and Turkey Run Wildlife Management Area, also a short drive away, is a protected area for walking and watching wildlife. History is close by too: the Old Meigs County Courthouse, now a museum, is a short drive away. With a longer drive, Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park offers another protected place to explore.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Racine’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Meigs County.
