How this ranking works
We divide each town’s median home value by the OH median household income ($71,389). The result is how many years of a typical paycheck it takes to buy a typical home there. Lower is more affordable. Across Ohio as a whole it’s 3.0 years.
Why not each town’s own income? That would rank wealthy towns with half-million-dollar homes as “affordable” only because their residents earn so much. One shared income answers the question people actually ask: where could a typical family afford to live?
Only towns with at least 2,500 residents are ranked; Census estimates for smaller places are too uncertain. Population and income: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates.
