South Solon village, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
South Solon village is a very small community in Ohio, with 367 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #969 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 34.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 South Solon village earn a median of $57,750 a year, 26.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 13.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in South Solon village is valued at $100,000, 67% below the national figure and 41% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $738 a month, 47.5% below the national figure, or roughly $8,856 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.3% 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 1.7×, 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. 65.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
