Ross County

With a population of 76,748 and a median household income of $59,819, Ross County presents a relatively affordable housing market in southern Ohio. Current inventory is tight, with only 3 active listings available, suggesting limited options for buyers despite the county's modest price point. The median home price sits at $190,000, with homes averaging 1,096 square feet and a price per square foot of $178. The owner-occupied rate of 70.6% indicates a market dominated by long-term residents rather than renters or investors, which can contribute to slower turnover and reduced inventory levels. Buyers entering this market should expect smaller homes at accessible price points, though the low active listing count means competition for available properties may be more pronounced than the overall numbers suggest. The combination of steady ownership rates and below-average home sizes points to a community where affordability has historically supported consistent homeownership.
