Northwood city, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Northwood city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 5,195 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #289 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 43.4 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 Northwood city earn a median of $76,332 a year, 2.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% above 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 13.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Northwood city is valued at $168,400, 44.5% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $964 a month, 31.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,568 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.2% 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 2.2×, 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. 81.6% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
