Walbridge village, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Walbridge village is a small town in Ohio, with 3,027 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #398 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 38.6 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 Walbridge village earn a median of $56,719 a year, 27.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% below the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Walbridge village is valued at $126,900, 58.2% below the national figure and 25% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $906 a month, 35.6% below the national figure, or roughly $10,872 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% 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 2.2×, 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. 71.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
