Hamilton city, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hamilton city is a small city in Ohio, with 63,124 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #10 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 34.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Hamilton city earn a median of $54,293 a year, 30.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% below 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 18.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hamilton city is valued at $152,300, 49.8% below the national figure and 10% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $974 a month, 30.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,688 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 54.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
