Dent CDP, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dent CDP is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 12,097 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #157 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 39.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Dent CDP earn a median of $82,635 a year, 5.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 25% above 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 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dent CDP is valued at $258,600, 14.8% below the national figure and 53% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,101 a month, 21.7% below the national figure, or roughly $13,212 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.1% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
