Hocking County

Tucked into the hilly terrain of southeastern Ohio, Hocking County is home to roughly 27,938 residents across approximately 13,014 housing units. Ownership is the dominant tenure here, with 78.8 percent of occupied units owner-occupied, well above national averages, and renters who do lease pay a median gross rent of $806 per month. The median household income sits at $61,366. The county's workforce is largely commuter-oriented, with residents averaging 29.1 minutes to reach their jobs, reflecting the rural geography and the need to travel to nearby employment centers. Remote work remains uncommon, with just 0.9 percent of workers doing their jobs from home. The housing stock, spread across small towns like Logan (the county seat) and unincorporated rural areas, supports a population that has maintained a consistent presence in this part of the Appalachian foothills. The combination of high ownership rates and modest rents points to a housing market oriented around long-term residents rather than transient renters.
