Sylvania city, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sylvania city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 19,038 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #94 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 40.4 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 Sylvania city earn a median of $95,610 a year, 21.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 44% above the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 5.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sylvania city is valued at $233,700, 23% below the national figure and 39% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,019 a month, 27.5% below the national figure, or roughly $12,228 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.8% 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. 77.5% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
