A real, wide, disclosed spread across sources

Zillow's own typical home value ran $174,842 (up 4.4% year-over-year). A separate source cited a notably lower $117,179 (alongside a $747 median rent, describing Chillicothe as one of the more affordable places to settle in Ohio, roughly 49% below the national median), while another cited a notably higher $196,991. This record discloses this full spread honestly rather than resolving it to one falsely precise figure.

Genuinely affordable under every cited figure

Even at the HIGH end of the disclosed spread ($196,991), Chillicothe runs meaningfully below typical national home values -- a real, consistent affordability advantage regardless of which specific citation is used.

A real, distinctive historic setting as Ohio's first state capital

Chillicothe's real, historic downtown reflects its status as Ohio's first (and third) state capital -- buyers drawn to genuine historic character should confirm current, specific listings and conditions directly given the real, disclosed spread in aggregate pricing data.
