Grand Rapids village, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Grand Rapids village is a very small community in Ohio, with 985 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #695 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 32.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Grand Rapids village earn a median of $73,125 a year, 6.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% above the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 11.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Grand Rapids village is valued at $159,800, 47.3% below the national figure and 5% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $903 a month, 35.8% below the national figure, or roughly $10,836 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.8% 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 2.2×, 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. 70.6% 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.
