Hudson city, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hudson city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 23,007 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #75 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 42.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Hudson city earn a median of $180,931 a year, 130.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 173% 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 3.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hudson city is valued at $444,800, 46.6% above the national figure and 164% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,219 a month, 57.8% above the national figure, or roughly $26,628 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88.1% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
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.
