What it’s like
The place. South Webster is a small village in Scioto County, Ohio, where households earn more than the county as a whole, though a noticeable part of the population still lives below the poverty line. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest; rain and melted snow fall 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, the largest workplaces include Southern Ohio Medical Center, Shawnee State University and Portsmouth City Schools. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, though the number of jobs there has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Jackson Lake State Park, a protected area a short drive away, is the closest outdoor option. A longer drive brings you to Wayne National Forest, a large protected area, and to the Scioto River. For history, Tremper Mound and Works is an archaeological site, also a longer drive away.
