Milford Center village, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Milford Center village is a very small community in Ohio, with 893 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #719 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 29.5 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 Milford Center village earn a median of $91,667 a year, 16.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 38% 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 1.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Milford Center village is valued at $190,200, 37.3% below the national figure and 13% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,191 a month, 15.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,292 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.6% 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 2.1×, 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. 85.7% 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. 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.
A median age of 29.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 893 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Milford Center village against its county rather than against national figures.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
