Willoughby Hills city, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Willoughby Hills city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 9,979 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #188 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 39.3 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 Willoughby Hills city earn a median of $61,641 a year, 21.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 8.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Willoughby Hills city is valued at $305,800, essentially level with the national figure and 81% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,091 a month, 22.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,092 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 42.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.
