Average rent in Ohio

The median asking rent in Ohio is $1,645 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.

Against an average home value of $196,021, that rent level prices Ohio at a 10.17% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Ohio markets.
