Cardington village, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cardington village is a small town in Ohio, with 1,899 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #503 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 Cardington village earn a median of $66,250 a year, 15.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Cardington village is valued at $132,600, 56.3% below the national figure and 21% 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 16.6% 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×, 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. 61.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
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.
