Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
In the fiscal year ended November 30, 2005, shorter-term interest rates rose steadily, while longer-term rates decreased. This convergence of rates created a challenging environment for fixed income managers, yet your fund’s advisor skillfully steered the Ohio Tax-Exempt Funds to respectable results.
The Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund posted a 3.2% total return, beating the average return of competing funds. The yield of the Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund moved to 3.86%, slightly above its 3.44% level a year earlier. The Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 2.2% for the 12 months. The fund’s yield on November 30 was 2.89%, a significant jump from last year’s level of 1.57%. The Money Market Fund preserved its net asset value of $1 per share, as is expected but not guaranteed.
The first table on page 1 presents the total returns of the Ohio Tax-Exempt Funds and their comparative standards. We also display the funds’ yields on November 30 as well as their taxable-equivalent yields. The taxable-equivalent yields can be used to compare the yields of tax-exempt securities with those of fully taxable bonds. These calculations assume that an investor is subject to the highest federal and state income tax rates.

The second table on page 1 shows the funds’ net asset values at the start and the end of the period and their per-share distributions during the fiscal year.
Interest rates converged as the Fed tightened monetary policy
During the 12 months ended November 30, the broad fixed income market produced modest returns in an unusual interest rate environment. As the Federal Reserve Board raised its target for short-term rates to 4.00%—a 2-percentage-point increase over the year—the impact on short-term securities was pronounced. The effect on long-term rates, by contrast, was muted. Indeed, the yield of the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond declined modestly.
These dynamics produced a “flattening of the yield curve”—a reduction in the difference between short- and long-term interest rates. The outcome was lower prices and weak returns for short- and intermediate-term bonds, solid returns for the longest-term securities, and a modest 2.4% return for the overall taxable bond market. Because municipal bond yields did not rise as much as yields of taxable securities, the broad tax-exempt bond market produced a higher 12-month return.
The different behavior of short- and long-term rates reflected inconsistencies in the broader economy. For example, growth in the value of goods and services produced by U.S. workers was surprisingly robust,

and corporate profits remained strong. But persistently high energy prices, which spiked in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, seemed to threaten the economy’s vigor.
U.S. stocks produced solid returns, and international markets surged
Stocks produced fiscal-year returns in the neighborhood of 10%, but, as with bonds, the stock market’s interim ups and downs seemed to echo the economy’s mixed signals. The broad U.S. market returned 10.1%. Large-capitalization stocks outperformed their smaller counterparts.
International stocks were the period’s best performers, even as a strengthening dollar reduced the value of international assets for U.S. investors. The long-slumbering Japanese market was a notably strong performer.
The funds’ returns were consistent with their goals and objectives
The Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund’s 3.2% return reflected a modest increase in income that was sufficient to offset declining prices for the portfolio’s bonds. The fund topped the return of its index benchmark and the average return of competing Ohio municipal debt funds. The longer-maturity bonds held by the fund represented the better-performing segment of an unsettled fixed income market.
The 2.2% return of the Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund was mainly a result of the increase in short-term rates. The very short maturity of the fund’s securities allowed it to quickly translate rising rates into higher income. The fund outperformed its average peer largely due to its lower expense ratio.

Time reveals the advantages of low costs and skilled management
Despite the erratic interest rate environment, the funds’ advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, was able to position the funds prudently while maintaining a focus on diversification, credit quality, the generation of consistent income, and low transaction costs.
This focus has created a powerful advantage for the Ohio Tax-Exempt Funds over the long term, as you can see in the table below. It presents the annualized returns of the two funds and their respective peer groups over a ten-year period. We also show the growth of a hypothetical initial investment of $10,000 over the ten years. As you can see, a modest advantage in the short term can become much more pronounced over time.
Muni funds can play a key role for tax-conscious investors
The marked “flattening of the yield curve” over the past year has been a surprise to many veteran bond investors. The development is yet another reminder that an effective long-term investment program should be designed to weather the unexpected.
Our time-tested advice is to maintain a portfolio that is balanced across asset classes (bond, money market, and stock funds) and diversified within each of those classes. Your allocations to each asset class should match your goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. For investors in higher tax brackets, the Ohio Tax-Exempt Funds can be important components in

Advisor’s Report
During the past 12 months, the yields of all but the longest-term municipal securities rose. The increase was most pronounced among shorter-term securities, producing a “flattening” of the yield curve. A similar pattern unfolded in the U.S. Treasury market, though with a sharper rise in short-term rates.
The Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Funds provided returns consistent with those of their market segments. The Money Market Fund returned 2.2%. The Long-Term Fund returned 3.2%.
The Fed’s tightening continued, and economic growth remained solid
Throughout the fiscal year, the Federal Reserve Board continued to tighten monetary policy, gradually raising its target for short-term rates from 2.00% to 4.00%. The Fed maintained that, despite the rise in borrowing costs produced by the steady increase in short-term rates, the economy would continue to expand, bolstered by productivity growth and reconstruction activity in hurricane-affected areas. Some analysts believe that the central bank will continue to raise rates at its “measured pace” of 25-basis-point increments.
As the Fed’s comments suggested, the economy’s recent performance has been strong, driven by consumer spending and business investment. To the extent that inflation became a concern, energy prices were the primary culprit. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita idled some Gulf Coast refineries, which led to significant spikes in already-high oil and gasoline prices. The Consumer Price Index rose 1.2% in September, its largest monthly increase in 25 years. The “core” inflation rate, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose more modestly.

Treasury and municipal markets generally followed the Fed’s lead
The yields of short-term municipal and Treasury securities increased as the Fed boosted its interest rate target. The tables on page 7 show yield changes for Treasury and municipal securities across the maturity spectrum. Yield increases were less pronounced among longer-term securities. In fact, the yields of the longest-maturity bonds declined during the 12-month period. The supply of Ohio debt remained virtually unchanged at $10.9 billion during fiscal 2005.
Both funds’ 12-month performance was driven by rising rates
As short-term interest rates rose, the Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund translated higher yields into more income. The fund’s 2.2% return was 1.1 percentage points higher than its fiscal 2004 return, and its 7-day SEC yield finished the period at 2.89%, up 1.32 percentage points from a year earlier. We kept the fund’s average maturity at the short end of its typical range, which allowed us to accelerate investment in newly issued higher-yielding securities. The fund topped the average return of its peer group during the 12 months.
Rising rates also affected the Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, but the primary short-term impact was mixed. The fund returned 3.2%, as its interest income more than offset a modest decline in the prices of short- and intermediate-term bonds. The fund’s return surpassed the peer-group average. As usual, the portfolio emphasized quality and diversification by issuer. The fund’s duration—a measure of interest rate sensitivity—remained near the short end of its typical range. This defensive positioning limited the fund’s participation in the price appreciation that took place in the longest portion of the yield curve.
Conservative strategies and low costs have provided a durable advantage
In any 12-month period, the funds’ relatively conservative strategies can be an advantage or disadvantage. Over time, however, the funds’ disciplined approach has produced highly competitive returns. The combination of conservative positioning and long-term outperformance partly reflects the funds’ low operating costs, which reduce the need to take unnecessary risks in pursuit of return. Vanguard’s expense advantage is important in any market environment, but it’s especially critical in the current environment of low yields.

Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in debt instruments of municipal issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the state of Ohio.
A.The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.
4. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At November 30, 2005, the fund had contributed capital of $109,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.11% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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. The fund invests in debt instruments of municipal issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the state of Ohio.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, 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. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially 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 board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses Municipal Bond Index, U.S. Treasury Bond, and U.S. Treasury Note futures contracts, with the objectives of enhancing returns, managing interest rate risk, maintaining liquidity, diversifying credit risk and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The fund may also seek to take advantage of price differences among bond market sectors by simultaneously buying futures (or bonds) of one market sector and selling futures (or bonds) of another sector. Futures contracts may also be used to simulate a fully invested position in the underlying bonds while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets 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 futures gains (losses).
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the 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.
5. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. 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.
37
Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At November 30, 2005, the fund had contributed capital of $64,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.06% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. The fund’s investment advisor may direct new issue purchases, subject to obtaining the best price and execution, to underwriters who have agreed to rebate or credit to the fund part of the underwriting fees generated. Such rebates or credits are used solely to reduce the fund’s management and administrative expenses. For the year ended November 30, 2005, these arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $6,000.
D. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.
The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $412,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
For tax purposes, at November 30, 2005, the fund had $3,556,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution. The fund had realized losses totaling $1,381,000 through November 30, 2005, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of unrealized appreciation on investment securities for tax purposes.
At November 30, 2005, net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $15,609,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $17,215,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,606,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
At November 30, 2005, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in March 2006 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

|
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contacts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.
E. During the year ended November 30, 2005, the fund purchased $140,954,000 of investment securities and sold $106,773,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Trustees of Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund (constituting Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at November 30, 2005, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and broker, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 table below 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 any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. They do not include your fund’s low-balance fee, which is described in the prospectus. If this fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”
1 | The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.13% for the Ohio Tax Exempt Money Market Fund and 0.14% for the Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund. 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. |
41
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 for the past five years, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate fund prospectus.

Glossary
Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.
Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the bonds held by a fund will fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the value could change, multiply the average duration by the change in rates. If interest rates rise by 1 percentage point, the value of the bonds in a fund with an average duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a percentage point, the value would rise by 5%.
Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.
Average Quality. An indicator of credit risk, this figure is the average of the ratings assigned to a fund’s holdings by credit-rating agencies. The agencies make their judgment after appraising an issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. Quality is graded on a scale, with AAA indicating the most creditworthy bond issuers and MIG-1, A-1+, SP-1+, and F-1+ indicating the most creditworthy issuers of money market securities.
Average Weighted Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security.
Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. A fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition below). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Yield. A snapshot of a fund’s interest income. The yield, expressed as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value, is based on income earned over the past 30 days (7 days for money market funds) and is annualized, or projected forward for the coming year.
Yield to Maturity. The rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

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 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 on an at-cost basis.
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.
Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.
Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.
