Dresden village, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Dresden village is a small town in Ohio, with 1,805 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #516 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 38.9 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 Dresden village earn a median of $62,546 a year, 20.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% below 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 10.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Dresden village is valued at $135,400, 55.4% below the national figure and 20% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $886 a month, 37% below the national figure, or roughly $10,632 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17% 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 2.2×, 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. 66.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
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.
