What it’s like
The place. Scio is a small village in Harrison County, and its residents are younger than in many small Ohio towns. Incomes here run below the county's, and typical home values are modest. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities also employing many. Very few adults hold a four-year degree, and almost nobody works from home. Commutes are long, which fits a village where much of the work lies elsewhere in the county. Across Harrison County, the largest workplaces include Harrison Hills City Schools, Harrison Community Hospital and Novo Manufacturing.
Things to do. Conotton Creek Trail, a protected area, runs in or beside town. A short drive away are Tappan Lake, a lake, and Harrison State Forest, a protected area. Ourant's School, a museum, is also a short drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Scio’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.
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 Harrison County and the Canton-Massillon, OH metro.
