Vermilion

Situated along the Lake Erie shoreline in Lorain County, this small Ohio city is home to 10,451 residents spread across 5,249 housing units. The ownership rate stands at 80.6 percent, pointing to a community where most households have roots rather than renter turnover, and those who do rent pay a median gross rent of $1,123 per month. The median household income is $73,052. Workers here commute an average of 24.8 minutes each way, suggesting that most employment is found in nearby regional centers rather than within the city itself. Remote work remains almost nonexistent, with only 0.2 percent of workers doing their jobs from home, meaning the daily commute is a near-universal part of working life for residents. The combination of a high ownership rate and a relatively compact housing stock of just over five thousand units gives Vermilion a settled, small-city character on the northern edge of Ohio's industrial corridor.
