Retire on $2,000 a Month in These 10 Ohio Towns !

There's a town in Ohio where the typical home is worth less than $125,000, and it still has an OhioHealth hospital, a $10 million performing arts center and what's billed as the first county library in America. We count down ten Ohio towns where retirees can live well without big-city prices: Wooster, Findlay, Mount Vernon, Port Clinton, Coshocton, Gallipolis, Tiffin, Wapakoneta, Marietta and, at number one, Van Wert. Every home value, rent and age figure comes from the US Census Bureau (American Community Survey 2020–2024). Every entry ends with the Honest Check: home value, rent, where the nearest hospital is, one real downside and who should skip it. Maps and charts are original to Hidden Ohio.
