Brady Lake CDP, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Brady Lake CDP is a very small community in Ohio, with 980 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #698 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 42.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Brady Lake CDP earn a median of $38,438 a year, 51.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% below 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 14.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Brady Lake CDP is valued at $157,300, 48.2% below the national figure and 7% below 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 28.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 71.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
