Living in Youngtown: people, income and schools
Youngtown is home to around 4,315 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 42, skewed a little older, and 74% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
