Mount Gilead village, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Mount Gilead village is a small town in Ohio, with 2,909 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #405 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 33.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Mount Gilead village earn a median of $49,536 a year, 36.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 16.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mount Gilead village is valued at $156,200, 48.5% below the national figure and 7% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $790 a month, 43.8% below the national figure, or roughly $9,480 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.1% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.4% 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.
