What it’s like
The place. Woodsfield is a village and a small town by any measure, the kind of place where residents are likely to know one another. Incomes here run below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and frosty nights, while summers are warm in July, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. The largest workplaces in Woodsfield include Switzerland of Ohio Local Schools, the Riesbeck Food Markets store and Arbors at Woodsfield, a skilled nursing facility. Unemployment in Monroe County has eased over the past year, though the county has fewer jobs than it did a year earlier, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Sunfish Creek State Forest and Barkcamp State Park are protected areas, each a longer drive away. Duck Creek, a river, lies in the same longer-drive range. Grave Creek Mound, an archaeological site and the best known of the nearby places, is also a longer drive from town.

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