Portage County

Portage County, Ohio carries a population of 161,421 and a median household income of $72,822, with 70.1% of residents owning their homes — a figure that points to a stable, owner-driven housing market. The current median home price sits at $269,900, with buyers averaging 2,262 square feet of living space at $164 per square foot. Those metrics suggest relatively accessible entry points compared to many Ohio metro areas, particularly for buyers seeking larger homes. The 233 active listings on the market reflect a moderately constrained inventory, which tends to support steady price levels rather than sharp fluctuations. The county's combination of mid-range incomes and attainable pricing keeps the price-to-income ratio within reach for many local buyers. Sellers have generally benefited from consistent demand rooted in the area's owner-occupancy culture, while buyers still find options across a range of home sizes without the intense competition seen in tighter urban markets.
