Morrow County

Situated in north-central Ohio, this rural county is home to about 35,214 residents and covers a modest but self-contained housing market of 14,615 units. Ownership is the dominant tenure here, with 81.8 percent of occupied units owner-occupied, a figure well above national norms. Those who rent pay a median gross rent of $942 per month. The median household income stands at $71,047, reflecting a workforce that commutes considerable distances for employment. The average one-way commute runs 29.9 minutes, consistent with a county where most jobs are located in neighboring urban centers like Columbus, Mansfield, or Marion. Only 1.6 percent of workers reported working from home, meaning the overwhelming majority leave the county each day for work. The housing stock tends toward single-family and rural residential properties, consistent with the low-density land use typical of Ohio's agricultural interior. Morrow County seat, Mount Gilead, serves as the center of local government and services for the surrounding townships.
