Knox County

Situated in central Ohio, Knox County has a population of 62,888 and a notably high owner-occupied rate of 75.1%, reflecting a stable, predominantly residential market. With only 14 active listings currently available, inventory remains tight, which supports the median home price of $415,000. Buyers will find that homes here average 1,967 square feet, with a price per square foot of $336. The county seat of Mount Vernon serves as the economic and cultural hub for the surrounding rural townships and smaller communities. A median household income of $73,988 suggests a workforce that is reasonably well-positioned relative to housing costs, though the limited supply means competitive conditions for buyers entering the market. The combination of low inventory and consistent ownership rates points to a community where residents tend to put down long-term roots, making turnover relatively infrequent compared to higher-density markets elsewhere in Ohio.
