Millersburg's own population ran 3,151 at the 2020 census, within a Holmes County whose real Amish settlement is cited at approximately 39,525 people as of 2023 -- the second-largest Amish settlement in the world and the highest concentration of Amish residents of any single U.S. county, making up roughly half of Holmes County's population.
Budget for genuinely affordable housing
Millersburg's median sale price ran approximately $280,000 (Redfin), with buying here described as approximately 1% below the national average cost -- though a separate August 2026 median list price ran meaningfully higher at $375,000.
Plan for real, ongoing horse-and-buggy road traffic
Horse-and-buggy transportation remains real and genuinely common on Holmes County's local roads -- a practical driving consideration (extra following distance, reduced dawn/dusk visibility, buggy-specific road signage) worth planning around, not a novelty.
Confirm Millersburg's own self-collected income tax rate
The Village of Millersburg levies a real 1.5% local income tax, collected directly through its own Income Tax Department -- not RITA or CCA.
