Port Clinton city, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Port Clinton city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 5,999 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #266 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 45.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Port Clinton city earn a median of $58,524 a year, 25.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% 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 Port Clinton city is valued at $142,100, 53.2% below the national figure and 16% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $882 a month, 37.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.1% 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 2.4×, 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. 73.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
