What stands out in Wood County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Wood County with communities in Ohio or of similar population size. Surprises are where the measured figure was unusually far from what Polco's model expected. Each fact gives its year; public data runs one to two years behind.

In 2024, Wood County was more favorable than communities of similar population size on housing cost burden for homeowners.
