What it’s like
The place. Rutland is a very small village in Meigs County, in the hills of southeastern Ohio. Winters are cold, with the coldest weather in January, and summers turn warm by July. Snow falls through the cold months, and the year is fairly wet overall. Household incomes across the county are modest, and homes in the village cost less than in much of the country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Meigs County, the biggest employers include Meigs Local Schools, Southern Local Schools and Eastern Local Schools. Jobs in the county slipped slightly last year, and unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier. Few adults in the village hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home, so most people drive to work.
Things to do. Leading Creek, a river, and McClintic Wildlife Management Area, a protected area for wildlife, are both a short drive away. The Hobson Site, an archaeological site, is also a short drive away. Tu-Endie-Wei State Park, a protected area along the river at the edge of the county, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Rutland’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.
