Written by Ricky Nave in Real Estate

These are the 5 Ohio counties with the highest median household net worth.

#5 Medina County

This Cleveland suburb has a median household income just under $82,000. The most common and highest paying type of jobs are management jobs.

The most common industry by number of employees is the manufacturing industry, and the highest paying industry by median wage is the mining, quarrying, and oil & gas extraction industry.

#4 Geauga County

As in Medina, the most common jobs are management jobs, but unlike in Medina, the highest paying jobs are in architecture & engineering. Median household income in the county is $88,000.

#3 Union County

This Columbus suburb has a median household income of $93,000, and the highest payed residents work in law where the median income is over $100k.

#2 Warren County

Half way between Cincinnati and Dayton, about 15% of households make over $200k. The most common and highest paid jobs are management roles in manufacturing or holding companies.

#1 Delaware County

Delaware County takes first place by a WIDE margin. Median household income is $117,000, and more than 20% of households make over $200k. Interestingly, the highest paid jobs are in software engineering, but the median pay of those jobs is only about $105k. That means the high median household income is driven primarily by a large number of 2-earner households rather than by especially high paying jobs.
