Amelia CDP, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Amelia CDP is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 12,482 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #153 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 35.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Amelia CDP earn a median of $69,864 a year, 11% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% above the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 9.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Amelia CDP is valued at $217,500, 28.3% below the national figure and 29% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $918 a month, 34.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,016 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
