Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
For the 12 months ended November 30, 2023, Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned 3.56%. It lagged the 3.96% return of its benchmark index, which includes state- and municipal-issued bonds across the maturity spectrum.
For much of the period, inflation continued to ease amid interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Unexpected resilience in the labor market and consumer spending dialed back expectations of an imminent recession. Although the prospect of higher interest rates for longer and heightened geopolitical tensions weighed on market sentiment at times toward the close of the period, global stocks and bonds rallied in November.
On the whole, muni fundamentals remained solid and their yields fluctuated but ended not far from where they started the period. Munis outperformed the broad taxable investment-grade bond market, where yields ended higher and prices lower.
Security selection among local government, hospital, and housing bonds detracted from the fund’s relative performance. On the other hand, employing a barbell strategy on yield curve positioning, managing the fund’s convexity profile, and having an overweight allocation to credit added value.

Advisor’s Report
For the 12 months ended November 30, 2023, Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned 3.56%. The result lagged the 3.96% return of the benchmark, the Bloomberg OH Municipal Bond Index, which includes bonds across the maturity spectrum.
The fund’s 30-day SEC yield climbed from 3.66% to 4.01%. The 30-day SEC yield is a proxy for a fund’s potential annualized rate of income.
The fund is permitted to invest in securities that can generate income distributions subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). As of the end of the fiscal year, however, it didn’t own such securities.
The investment environment
For much of the period, concerns about inflation and whether policymakers’ efforts to rein it in might spur a global recession were top of mind for many investors.
Early on, energy prices continued to cool amid an outlook for slower economic growth, but price increases then began to broaden to other categories, notably the services sector, which felt the effects of tight labor markets. With the prospect of inflation remaining stubbornly high, central banks including the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England continued aggressively hiking interest rates even as their actions fanned fears of a global recession down the road.

U.S. Treasury yields ended the period higher across the maturity spectrum. Central bank action and some banking sector stress in March drove very-short-term yields higher in the first part of the period. Longer-term yields started to climb in July as the market began to anticipate that resilient growth and sticky inflation would lead the Fed to keep rates higher for longer.
Although progress was slow in developed markets, signs of inflation moderating toward the end of the period and a growing belief that the Fed may have reached the end of its rate-hiking cycle contributed to a strong rally in stocks and bonds in November.
At the national level, munis posted a much stronger performance than the taxable bond market, returning 4.28% for the 12 months, according to the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index.
The State of Ohio’s finances remained solid. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, it’s estimated that revenues exceeded the adopted budget by $994 million because of high personal income tax revenues and continued strength in sales taxes. The state’s revised budget for fiscal year 2024 is slightly smaller than the budget for fiscal year 2023 and is expected to generate a structural surplus. The general fund liquidity cushion, the Budget Stabilization Fund, increased to $3.5 billion in fiscal year 2023, equivalent to a very healthy 8.2% of general revenues.
Ohio’s credit quality has been bolstered by consecutive budget surpluses in the past three years and a liquidity cushion that is higher than pre-COVID levels.
Major cities in Ohio have benefited from continued federal aid, strong tax revenues, and continued state support.
Management of the fund
The fund’s underperformance versus its benchmark was primarily due to security selection. The fund’s exposure in segments of the muni bond market, including local governments, hospitals, and housing, in particular detracted.
On the other side of the ledger, our yield curve positioning modestly contributed to relative performance. We took a barbell approach, with an allocation to short-term bonds, which we expect will benefit from an eventual normalization in the yield curve, and an allocation to bonds further out on the curve, where we have locked in attractive returns.
The fund’s overweight allocation to credit was a positive. With strong demand for AAA-rated munis having pushed their valuations into rich territory, and given the healthy fundamentals of this asset class, we felt comfortable focusing on lower-quality investment-grade munis, which were offering more yield and whose spreads nevertheless seemed unlikely to widen significantly if the economy slowed.   
Our management of the fund’s convexity profile also added value. (Convexity is a measure of how much a bond’s duration
3

 

changes when interest rates change.) The duration of a callable bond tends to lengthen as interest rates rise—especially when rates rise above the bond’s coupon rate—amplifying the decline in its price.
Outlook
Although some market participants are counting on a Goldilocks scenario in which inflation moderates without a slowdown in the economy, we see that as unlikely for several reasons. Even without further rate increases, the tightening in monetary policy that has already taken place will continue working its way through the financial system. There’s a risk that wage gains could contribute to inflation remaining sticky and above target, and consumers have been spending down the savings they accumulated during the pandemic.
We therefore continue to expect a mild recession in the U.S. in late 2024, which will eventually bring inflation back to the Fed’s 2% target. And while the Fed may eventually cut interest rates, they are likely for some time to remain well above the low levels we have become accustomed to since the global financial crisis.
Our outlook for the overall muni market is positive, given the strength of munis’ fundamentals and our expectations that the default rate of this high-quality asset class is unlikely to pick up significantly even in a recession. Moreover, valuations toward the long end of the yield curve are especially compelling, as are those of lower-rated munis. And once the yield
curve begins to normalize, we expect cash flows into muni funds to pick up as investors reassess the reinvestment risk of cash and the cushion that munis may offer against equity declines or a risk sell-off.
Credit rating agencies recently upgraded Ohio—the state’s debt is now rated Aaa by Moody’s and AAA by Fitch. The state is well-positioned to manage through persistent inflation, changes in fiscal policy, and any economic uncertainty while keeping balanced budgets and strong levels of reserves.
Whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers, traders, and credit analysts will continue to navigate this large, fragmented market to seek attractive investment opportunities that will add to the fund’s performance.

About Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The ”Ending Account Value“ shown is derived from the fund‘s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“
Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.13%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (183/365).

Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Bonds and other temporary cash investments are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the year ended November 30, 2023, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the fiscal year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
34

 

Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
5. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at an agreed-upon spread plus the higher of the federal funds effective rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate inclusive of an additional agreed-upon spread. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program. 
For the year ended November 30, 2023, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
6. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities, except for premiums on certain callable debt securities that are amortized to the earliest call date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At November 30, 2023, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $42,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.02% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
C. The fund’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce its fees when the fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended November 30, 2023, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $10,000 (an annual rate of less than 0.01% of average net assets).
D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of November 30, 2023, based on the inputs used to value them:

Futures Contracts1 102 102
1 Includes cumulative appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts and centrally cleared swaps, if any, as reported in the Schedule of Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
E. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets, if any, are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for amortization were reclassified between the individual components of total distributable earnings (loss).
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to capital loss carryforwards; the deferral of losses from wash sales; the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts; the timing of payables for distributions; and the treatment of amortization adjustments from certain fixed

F. During the year ended November 30, 2023, the fund purchased $758,266,000 of investment securities and sold $791,491,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended November 30, 2023, such purchases were $28,895,000 and sales were $73,390,000, resulting in net realized gain (loss) of $0; these amounts, other than temporary cash investments, are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

H. Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic), natural or environmental disasters, war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a transaction or an issuer of a financial instrument will fail to pay interest and principal when due, or that perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of an investment to decline. Investment in debt securities will generally increase credit risk.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2023, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Ohio Tax-Free Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund”) as of November 30, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended November 30, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended November 30, 2023 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of November 30, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended November 30, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The People Who Govern Your Fund
The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them.
A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 206 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. That information, as well as the Vanguard fund count, is as of the date on the cover of this fund report. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.
