How does Avon compare to other US cities?

Where Avon sits among all US cities (population 1,000+) on each measure, computed live from Census and FBI data.

Household income 89% higher than other cities
Home value 75% pricier than other cities
Median rent 44% pricier than other cities
Safety 65% safer than other cities

"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.

A national percentile can hide a lot of local variation: narrowed to Ohio alone, Avon ranks #111 of 281 Ohio cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Avon against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Ohio only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.

Ohio-relative analysis

Median Home Value is Avon's strongest outlier among Ohio cities

Among the 1,164 Ohio cities PlainCities tracks with reported median home value data, Avon ranks #60 - the 95th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Avon only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
