The short answer

Loudonville is home to 10,527 people. Median household income is $142,829 a year and median rent is $1,829 a month, 15.4% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $391,200, about 2.7x annual median household income.

Loudonville stands out on value for money. Rent is light relative to pay, but the county has a FEMA natural hazard risk score of 86 out of 100. Budget for insurance before counting the savings. Also notable: Household income growth is 6.5% a year, against 3.7% a year in its closest peers.
