6. Vinton County, Ohio demographics.

Wed Jul 1, 2026, 03:30 PM

Wednesday

Population about 12,000 people, 96% of whom are white. 79% of voters there chose Trump in 2024. Income, education, health status all what you would expect.

This is the shining beacon of white rural America touted by JD Vance, who grew up a few counties over.

This is what "try that in a small town" really means.
