Sterling

Tucked into Wayne County, this small Ohio village has a population of 236 residents spread across 132 housing units. Owner-occupied housing is the dominant tenure here, with 86.1 percent of units owner-occupied, reflecting a community where most residents have put down roots. The median household income sits at $53,558. Because the village is so compact, most workers commute out to jobs elsewhere in the region, with only 5.1 percent of the workforce reporting that they work from home. The surrounding Wayne County area is anchored by agriculture and light manufacturing, industries that draw workers from smaller communities like this one. The low number of total housing units means the community has retained a small-scale character, where residential streets and rural surroundings define the everyday landscape. Prospective buyers and renters considering the area will find a predominantly owner-occupied stock in a setting that reflects the scale and pace of rural northeast Ohio.
