Boston Heights village, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Boston Heights village is a small town in Ohio, with 1,436 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #579 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 50.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Boston Heights village earn a median of $127,083 a year, 61.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 92% above the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 4.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Boston Heights village is valued at $435,400, 43.5% above the national figure and 158% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,071 a month, 23.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,852 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.1% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

A median age of 50.6 puts Boston Heights village well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
