Deerfield

Tucked into Portage County, this small Ohio community is home to about 2,845 residents and roughly 1,582 housing units. Ownership is the dominant tenure here, with 82.8 percent of occupied units held by their owners, pointing to a settled, established residential base. Renters in the area pay a median gross rent of around $1,025 per month. The local economy reflects a largely commuter-oriented workforce, as only 2.3 percent of workers report working from home, meaning the vast majority travel outside the community for employment. Median household income sits at $59,464, placing it in a moderate range for the region. The combination of a high ownership rate and a compact housing stock gives Deerfield a close-knit residential character shaped more by long-term residents than by turnover. Its position in Portage County connects it to broader employment centers while maintaining the scale and density typical of small-town northeastern Ohio.
