Lakeside Marblehead

Tucked along the Lake Erie shoreline in Ottawa County, this small Ohio peninsula community has a population of 4,133 year-round residents alongside a much larger housing stock of 6,605 units, a gap that reflects the area's substantial seasonal and second-home presence. The owner-occupied rate stands at 88.1 percent, one of the higher ownership shares found in communities of this size, while median gross rent comes in at $863 per month for those who do lease. Median household income reaches $76,627. Most working residents commute by car, with an average one-way trip of 22.6 minutes, and just 2.2 percent work from home. The local economy draws on the region's recreational and tourism activity tied to Lake Erie, with boating, fishing, and waterfront access shaping much of everyday life here. The combination of a compact year-round population and a large number of housing units makes this peninsula distinct from typical inland Ohio towns of comparable size.
