What it’s like
The place. Sciotodale is a small community in Scioto County, Ohio, with a population that is very small compared with the county's larger towns. Homes here are typically priced modestly, and household incomes across Scioto County run below those of most of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm in July; rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Across Scioto County, some of the biggest workplaces are Southern Ohio Medical Center, Shawnee State University and Portsmouth City Schools. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the number of jobs slipped slightly last year. Commutes are moderate, and almost no one works from home.
Things to do. The Scioto River is a short drive away, and so is Portsmouth Earthworks, an archaeological site from the region's long Native American history. Biggs Site is another archaeological site close by. For a longer outing, Wayne National Forest is a protected area of woods and trails, reached by a longer drive.
