Insurance Considerations for Chillicothe and Ross County
Chillicothe is Ohio’s first capital and the county seat of Ross County, with a population of around 21,000. Located along the Scioto River and U.S. Route 35, Chillicothe residents face a combination of urban and rural insurance considerations. Jeff Smith’s State Farm agency in nearby Portsmouth serves Chillicothe clients with the same coverage options available to Portsmouth residents.

- Rural Route 35 driving: The U.S. 35 corridor east to Huntington and west to Dayton is a high-deer-strike zone. Comprehensive coverage is especially valuable here.
- Growing rental market: Chillicothe has a growing rental sector — renters insurance is increasingly required by landlords in the area and is available for as little as $10–$20 per month.
