New Philadelphia city, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
New Philadelphia city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 17,563 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #108 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 41.9 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 New Philadelphia city earn a median of $60,932 a year, 22.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% below 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 15.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in New Philadelphia city is valued at $164,600, 45.7% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $866 a month, 38.4% below the national figure, or roughly $10,392 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.3% 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.
