Why Ontario

What makes Ontario different

Home Value, By Source

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2023 5-year estimate) puts Ontario's median home value — across all owner-occupied homes, not just recent sales — at $163,300. Separately, Richland County's current median listing price (via Realtor.com data, 2026-06-01) runs $232,400. These cover different geography (city vs. county) and different measures (assessed value vs. active listings), which is why we show both rather than picking one — full source list on our data sources page.

County Price Trend

Richland County's FHFA house price index shows a 6.38% annual change in 2025.

Population & Income

Ontario has an estimated population of 6,649 and a median household income of $65,905, per the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2023 5-year estimate).

Affordability Snapshot

Ontario's Census-reported median home value works out to about 2.5x the area's median household income, and median gross rent runs roughly 19% of that same income on an annualized basis. Housing economists commonly flag a price-to-income ratio above 4x as historically elevated -- useful context, not a personal affordability verdict.
