What it’s like
The place. Vienna is a city in Wood County, West Virginia, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and the residents are on the older side, with a good number holding a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with highs near freezing in January and some snow, while July brings warm summer days and the year is fairly wet overall.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services, with restaurants and hotels employing others. Some of the biggest workplaces in Vienna are Walmart, Sam's Club and Lowe's of Wood County. Most people have a commute of a fairly ordinary length, and a share work from home.
Things to do. The Muskingum River is a short drive away, and Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park, a protected area, is also close by. For a look at local history, the Ohio River Museum is a short drive away too. Together they give an easy day of river scenery and the past.

Natural hazards
- Strong windRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Vienna’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 Wood County and the Parkersburg-Vienna, WV metro.
