Brilliant CDP, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Brilliant CDP is a small town in Ohio, with 1,065 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #665 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 44.6 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 Brilliant CDP earn a median of $49,100 a year, 37.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below 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 16.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Brilliant CDP is valued at $70,400, 76.8% below the national figure and 58% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $546 a month, 61.2% below the national figure, or roughly $6,552 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.3% 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 1.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 63% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
