Housing in Amelia is mostly detached single-family: 62% of units, with 25% in buildings of five or more units.¹ A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 61% of occupied homes in Amelia are owner-occupied, below the Ohio share of 67%.¹ The median owner-occupied home in Amelia is valued at $230,400 (ACS), above the Ohio median of $214,800. Within Clermont County the median is $266,200, so Amelia sits below it.¹ Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
