Tiffin city, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Tiffin city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 17,814 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #106 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 36.7 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 Tiffin city earn a median of $55,700 a year, 29.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tiffin city is valued at $129,200, 57.4% below the national figure and 23% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $834 a month, 40.7% below the national figure, or roughly $10,008 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18% 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 2.3×, 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. 61.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
