Bluffton village, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bluffton village is a small town in Ohio, with 3,799 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #345 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 35.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Bluffton village earn a median of $77,382 a year, 1.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% above the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 1.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bluffton village is valued at $192,500, 36.6% below the national figure and 14% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $834 a month, 40.7% below the national figure, or roughly $10,008 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.9% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
