Vermilion, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Vermilion city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 10,451 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #182 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 49.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Vermilion city earn a median of $73,052 a year, 7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Vermilion city is valued at $172,000, 43.3% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,123 a month, 20.1% below the national figure, or roughly $13,476 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% 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. 80.6% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
