Galena village, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Galena village is a small town in Ohio, with 1,427 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #581 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 35.9 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 Galena village earn a median of $131,324 a year, 67.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 98% 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 7.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Galena village is valued at $422,400, 39.2% above the national figure and 151% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,240 a month, 11.8% below the national figure, or roughly $14,880 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.3% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.2% 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.
