Hilliard city, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hilliard city is a small city in Ohio, with 36,560 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #35 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 35.5 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 Hilliard city earn a median of $122,864 a year, 56.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 85% above the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hilliard city is valued at $360,000, 18.7% above the national figure and 114% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,590 a month, 13.1% above the national figure, or roughly $19,080 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.5% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
