Canal Fulton

Tucked into Stark County along the Tuscarawas River, this small Ohio city is home to roughly 5,326 residents and 2,563 housing units. Two thirds of those units, about 66.6 percent, are owner-occupied, pointing to a predominantly owner-driven housing market, while renters typically pay a median gross rent of $915 per month. The median household income stands at $62,025. Nearly all workers commute out to their jobs, with just 0.5 percent working from home, and the average one-way commute runs 24.2 minutes, consistent with a community whose residents depend on nearby employment centers in Stark County and the broader northeast Ohio region. Canal Fulton carries a distinct historical identity rooted in its canal-era past, and its compact scale means residents live within easy reach of the recreational trails and waterway that the old Ohio and Erie Canal corridor left behind. The housing stock reflects a mix of established neighborhoods built across several decades.
