Fort Recovery village, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Fort Recovery village is a small town in Ohio, with 1,863 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #508 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 34.7 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 Fort Recovery village earn a median of $66,833 a year, 14.9% 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. 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 2.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Fort Recovery village is valued at $162,000, 46.6% below the national figure and 4% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $767 a month, 45.4% below the national figure, or roughly $9,204 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.8% 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 2.4×, 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. 86.1% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
