Solon city, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Solon city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 23,970 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #69 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 44.5 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 Solon city earn a median of $135,180 a year, 72.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 104% above 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 4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Solon city is valued at $375,700, 23.8% above the national figure and 123% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,460 a month, 3.8% above the national figure, or roughly $17,520 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84.8% 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. 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.
