$0 Price / Sq Ft

Situated in Scioto County, this southern Ohio city of 17,919 residents currently shows just one active listing on the market, signaling extremely limited inventory for buyers. The median home price sits at $799,000, a figure that stands in notable contrast to the median household income of $35,319, suggesting the available property skews well above typical local purchasing power. With an owner-occupancy rate of 46.8 percent, renters make up a significant share of the housing market, which may reflect both affordability pressures and the availability of rental stock throughout the area. Families with school-age children would fall under Portsmouth City School District. The combination of scarce inventory and a high median price means prospective buyers face limited options at the moment, while the broader economic profile of the community points to a market where affordability remains a persistent factor in housing decisions.
