Ottawa village, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ottawa village is a small town in Ohio, with 4,439 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #312 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 41.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Ottawa village earn a median of $66,268 a year, 15.6% 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. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ottawa village is valued at $175,300, 42.2% below the national figure and 4% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $739 a month, 47.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,868 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.4% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
