Riverside city, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Riverside city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 24,432 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #67 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 35.3 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 Riverside city earn a median of $59,271 a year, 24.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below 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 16.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Riverside city is valued at $139,100, 54.2% below the national figure and 17% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,015 a month, 27.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,180 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, 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. 55.3% 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.
