Norwood city, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Norwood city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 19,023 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #95 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 33.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Norwood city earn a median of $64,724 a year, 17.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 17.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Norwood city is valued at $228,300, 24.8% below the national figure and 35% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $925 a month, 34.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,100 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 47.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
