President’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
The Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Funds performed well in fiscal-year 2009, a period that began with fears about the viability of the nation’s financial institutions and a related plunge in municipal bond prices. As the year progressed, government rescue programs began to take hold, accompanied by a rally in municipal bonds.
Simultaneously, Ohio and other states grappled with the disruption in revenues brought about by the worst economic slump since the Great Depression, including an unemployment rate that climbed above 10% in Ohio. Fears of defaults were in the air (generally unwarranted in our view).
The Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund fully participated in the national muni bond market rally. The fund returned 13.61% for the 12 months, nearly a record high. Rising bond prices go hand-in-hand with declining yields: As of November 30, 2009, the long-term fund’s yield was 3.47%, down from 4.39% a year earlier.
Money market funds faced a different dynamic, including aggressive actions by the Federal Reserve that drove down short-term interest rates. The Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 0.56% for the fiscal year, a record low. The fund’s ending yield was a barely perceptible 0.19%, down from 1.23% a year earlier.

On a taxable-equivalent basis, the yield of each fund was higher, as shown on page 1. Note: The funds are permitted to invest in securities whose income is subject to the alternative minimum tax. As of November 30, the Long-Term Fund owned no securities that would generate income distributions subject to the AMT. The Money Market Fund did own some of these securities.
For bonds, a period of panic was followed by robust returns
Volatility was a theme in the fixed income market over the 12 months ended November 30. At the peak of the credit crisis in late 2008, investors shunned just about any security not issued by the U.S. Treasury. This stampede to quality led to the widest gap between the very low yields of Treasuries and the much higher yields of corporate bonds since the Great Depression. The crisis also rattled the municipal bond market, propelling muni bond yields above those of Treasury bonds—a reversal of the typical relationship.
In early spring, “green shoots” began to emerge—signs that aggressive fiscal and monetary policies were getting the global economy back on its feet. Investors’ appetite for risk returned, and then some: Not only did they propel the stock market to an amazingly strong bounceback, but many sought out the riskiest bonds in the credit markets. For the 12 months, taxable and municipal bonds each notched double-digit results, returning about 12% and 14%, respectively.

Shorter-term savings vehicles, including money market funds, didn’t fare as well. They became casualties of the Fed’s dramatic cuts in short-term interest rates and other policies that pumped up the money supply, all intended to nurse the economy, markets, and banks back to health. In December 2008, the Fed reduced its target for the federal funds rate, a benchmark for the interest rates paid by money market instruments and other very short-term securities, to between 0% and 0.25%. The target has stayed there ever since. After its meeting in early November, the Fed said it expected to maintain the target at this level “for an extended period.”
Stock markets worldwide produced double-digit returns
U.S. stocks posted unusually large gains as the steep losses suffered during the first few months of the fiscal year were erased by the rally that began in March. The stock market’s rebound seemed to anticipate an improvement in the broader economy, which began to show signs of growth in the second half of the period.
The story was similar in many international markets: They collapsed in late 2008 and early 2009, then rebounded at a startling rate. The recovery was especially swift and powerful in emerging markets, many of which came out of the financial crisis in relatively better fiscal and economic shape than their developed-market counterparts.

Despite the strong performance seen since March, the longer-term returns of most stock market indexes bear witness to the trials suffered by many investors in the not-so-distant past. Over the past three years, for example, both U.S. and international stock indexes have declined. Five-year annualized returns for U.S. stocks as of November 30 were mostly positive, but far from impressive. Stock markets abroad fared better over this longer period, posting average annual returns of almost 7%.
Fear, the Fed, and a rally put a squeeze on yields
Fiscal 2009 was a period of falling yields for tax-exempt securities. However, the primary factors behind the slide in yields for short-term securities differed from those affecting longer-term tax-exempt bonds.
Because money market investments are extremely sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates, the Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund’s yield dwindled all year in response to the Fed’s rate-cutting policy. Further encouraging the downward trend was strong market demand for low-risk, liquid assets at the height of the financial panic.
By November 30, the money market fund’s yield was down to 0.19%, compared with 1.23% a year earlier. For the 12 months, the fund returned 0.56%, a record low. The good news—on a relative basis, to be sure—is that the fund’s return was almost double that of its competitive peers, a consequence primarily of the fund’s low expense ratio (a hallmark of Vanguard funds).

A historical yield pattern has reasserted itself Atypical times can upend typical relationships. At the start of the fiscal year, municipal securities generally offered higher pre-tax yields than taxable Treasuries—an inversion of the historical relationship. A variety of investor fears about the financial outlook drove demand for Treasuri es up and their yields down, while market turmoil was doing the opposite for municipal bonds. Munis have usually yielded less than Treasuries, because their interest income is generally exempt from federal taxes. As the period progressed, Treasury yields rose and muni yields declined—returning to the more usual relationship in the spring. |

In the longer-term portion of the tax-exempt market, yields declined and prices rose because of a rally that took hold early in the year and didn’t let up. The Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund’s yield fell to 3.47% on November 30 from 4.39% a year earlier.
The seeds of the rally were planted early in the fiscal year by an offshoot of the credit-market crisis: the extreme pressure on certain institutional investors to raise capital in a hurry. The resulting forced sales of municipal bonds drove prices down to levels that would prove attractive to later investors. Yields on munis rose accordingly, even climbing above those of Treasuries (see the Investment insight chart on this page). As investors’ appetite for risk rekindled, the combination of low prices and high yields fueled strong demand.
Also helping to boost prices was a decline in supply. Issuance of tax-exempt bonds dropped as states and municipalities turned to the newly created Build America Bonds; such bonds were offered, for example, by issuers as varied as the Greater Cincinnati Water Works and the Edgewood and Talawanda school districts in western Ohio. The new bonds, whose interest payments are taxable, are one element of the federal economic stimulus package and were designed to subsidize states’ and local governments’ borrowing costs. (The stimulus program also included direct payments to states and local governments, another factor that reduced bond supply.)
6
In this environment, the Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned 13.61%, its highest return since fiscal-year 1995. The fund’s return matched the average return of peer-group funds and outpaced the 12.67% return of its benchmark index.
Diligent analysis underlies our solid long-term results
Current economic signals seem to point to renewed growth for the nation as a whole, but it’s likely that the finances of states and municipalities will be slower to recover. The next couple of years will remain challenging for Ohio and other states.
For municipal bond investors, this means that close monitoring of the financial strength of issuers is of paramount importance. Fortunately, that is what Vanguard Fixed Income Group’s team of seasoned credit analysts routinely does.
The team brings an informed skeptic’s view to the task: Its analyses are independent of those published by rating agencies, and include not only issues being considered for purchase but those already owned by the funds. Our analysts believe that concerns about possible defaults by issuers of tax-exempt securities in Ohio, and in other states represented in Vanguard’s tax-exempt portfolios, are generally unwarranted.
As investment advisor to the Ohio Tax-Exempt Funds, the Fixed Income Group seeks to maintain low-cost portfolios of high-quality, liquid assets with a level of interest rate risk generally in line with that of their respective market segments. This strategy, together with the advisor’s diligent credit analysis, has served our shareholders well over the long term.
As you can see in the table on page 5, for the ten-year period ended November 30, 2009, both the Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and the Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund outpaced the average return of peer-group funds by a significant margin.
The higher the costs, the higher the hurdle
Costs are an important factor in any fund’s performance, but they’re critical in fixed income investing because bond returns fall within a narrower range than stock returns. This simple fact provides two interrelated advantages for the skilled bond-fund manager who has the advantage of low costs. He or she has a lower hurdle to overcome in seeking to produce competitive performance, because expenses are deducted directly from returns. And the manager needn’t pursue higher-risk strategies in an effort to overcome the drag from higher costs.
As you can see in the table on page 4, our funds’ costs are far below the norm for their peers. And while our commitment to keeping your costs low is unwavering, the money market fund's expense ratio nevertheless rose by about 6 basis points during the past year. The increase largely reflected the cost of participating in the U.S. Treasury's Temporary Guarantee Program. This program was established in late 2008, as turmoil in short-term debt markets raised concern about the stability
7
of money market mutual funds. Markets soon stabilized, and the Treasury allowed the program to expire in September 2009.
Investing in funds that have low costs and skilled management is just one step in the journey toward your investment goals. Investors should take into account not only that markets fluctuate, but also that different markets—stocks and bonds, for example—often fluctuate differently from each other. That is why we recommend that investors balance their portfolios among different asset classes, and diversify within those classes, based on each investor’s unique goals, time horizon, and tolerance for risk.
On another matter, I would like to inform you that on January 1, 2010, we will complete a leadership transition that began in March 2008. I will succeed Jack Brennan as chairman of Vanguard and each of the funds. Jack has agreed to serve as chairman emeritus and senior advisor.
Under Jack’s leadership, Vanguard has grown to become a preeminent firm in the mutual fund industry. Jack’s energy, his relentless pursuit of perfection, and his unwavering focus on always doing the right thing for our clients are evident in every facet of Vanguard policy today.
Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009, Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 0.56%, ahead of the average return of its peer group. The Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned 13.61%—showing just how far and fast the bond market recovered from the dark days of 2008 and early 2009, when credit was essentially frozen. The long-term fund’s return was above that of its diversified Barclays Capital index benchmark and in line with the average return of competing funds.
The investment environment
In the past 12 months we have seen a significant rebound in the municipal bond market. The fiscal year began in December amid a seemingly desperate crisis: Major financial firms had imploded; the credit markets were frozen; hedge funds and closed-end funds were unloading high-quality assets, including municipal bonds, at fire-sale prices to meet collateral requirements; and investors were fleeing securities with any hint of risk for the perceived safety of U.S. Treasury securities.
By early 2009, federal government and Federal Reserve initiatives aimed at combating the financial crisis and the intertwined economic slump started gaining some traction. The banks and brokerage firms that underwrite municipal issues and facilitate liquidity began to operate normally once again, helping to stabilize the muni market. And munis’ depressed prices began to attract buyers, helping to fuel a rally that continued for the remainder of the year. Toward the end

of the fiscal year, tax-free bond yields had fallen (and prices risen) to levels not seen for four decades.
Prices also got a boost from the shortage of traditional tax-exempt securities. After the yields demanded by muni investors became exceptionally high in early 2009, many municipal borrowers began shifting a significant portion of their issuance to a new and lower-cost type of municipal bond—the subsidized and taxable Build America Bond. These bonds were created as part of the federal government’s stimulus package (signed into law in February). They are intended to encourage investment in public infrastructure and to help state and local governments, as well as other municipal issuers, meet their financing needs.
Although Build America Bonds may not have become a household name yet, these bonds’ impact on the municipal bond market should not be underestimated. From April—when the first such bond was issued—through November 2009, more than $55 billion of taxable Build America Bonds were issued across the United States. In October alone, about one-third of all new municipal bond issues were taxable, and most of those were Build America Bonds. Because these bonds siphoned off some of the potential supply of new tax-exempt bonds, investors seeking traditional munis found their prices being bid up.
Still, tax-exempt bonds represented close to 80% of the almost $375 billion of muni issues sold nationwide in 2009 through November. And the total value of new municipal issues—including taxable bonds—appeared on track to exceed $400 billion in calendar year 2009, which would join 2005 and 2007 in the $400 billion-plus record book. In Ohio, during the fiscal year just ended, a total of $11.7 billion of municipal bonds was issued (including $1.9 billion of Build America Bonds), slightly above the total of $11.6 billion last year though behind the $17.8 billion of issuance in fiscal 2007.
As economic conditions improved during the year, investors sought out higher yields—by moving out of money market securities into longer-term bonds and by taking on more credit risk. Indeed, with state and local finances remaining shaky throughout the period, it was the market’s shift toward risk that led to a narrowing of the yield gap between lower-quality municipals and U.S. Treasuries. In this environment, lower-quality bonds performed best in both the taxable and municipal markets—generally creating headwinds for Vanguard funds because of our focus on quality.
Management of the funds
The economic slump and high unemploy- ment at the national level have translated into historic budget challenges for states and municipalities, leading them to resort to a variety of measures to help meet their fiscal needs. These have included cutting
10
spending, increasing taxes and fees, and tapping into reserves—in Ohio’s case, the state depleted almost its entire $1 billion rainy-day fund to help meet its fiscal-year 2009 budget gap. Federal stimulus payments also helped bridge budget gaps.
In anticipation of the market’s recovery, we increased the funds’ exposure to lower-quality securities, while maintaining our overall emphasis on securities with high credit quality. Indeed, compared with the funds’ peer groups, our allocations to lower-rated issues remain quite modest.
The funds’ interest rate positioning, as measured by their average weighted durations, had no meaningful impact on performance relative to benchmark indexes.
Outlook
We expect slow and stable economic growth to continue. Although the ultimate strength and pace of the recovery are open to question, the muni market has clearly priced out depression and priced in recovery. And, while we expect the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low, we will be closely watching for any serious uptick in inflation. If inflation becomes a concern, we are prepared to act quickly. As the economic expansion proceeds, yield spreads between lower-risk and higher-risk bonds should continue to tighten, albeit at a more moderate pace.
At the state and local levels, we do not expect any immediate respite from financial stress. Indeed, Ohio is expected to be among the hardest-hit states in terms of declines in personal and corporate income tax revenues (according to state forecasts compiled by the National Conference of State Legislatures).
If the historical pattern holds, fiscal pressure on state and local governments will continue for the next few years. Changes in the financial picture of municipal bond issuers tend to lag the broader economic cycle by one to two years. As we usually do, we will continue to independently monitor developments in Ohio and nationally and closely analyze the finances of the muni issuers. We strive to make sure that any financial pressure or problems of issuers won’t become the problems of the shareholders in our funds.

(f) Concentrating investments in a particular industry or group of industries.
(g) Eliminating outdated fundamental investment policies not required by law.
The revised fundamental policies are clearly stated and simple, yet comprehensive, making oversight and compliance more efficient than under the former policies. The revised fundamental policies will allow the funds to respond more quickly to regulatory and market changes, while avoiding the costs and delays associated with successive shareholder meetings.

Performance Summary
Investment returns will fluctuate. All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at www.vanguard.com/performance.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The fund’s 7 - -day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

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.
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 income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (November 30, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions 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, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $202,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.08% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. 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).
At November 30, 2009, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
D. On October 7, 2008, the board of trustees approved the fund’s participation in a temporary program introduced by the U.S. Treasury to guarantee the account values of shareholders in a money market fund in the event the fund’s net asset value fell below $0.995 and the fund’s trustees decided to liquidate the fund. The program covered the lesser of a shareholder’s account value on September 19, 2008, or on the date of liquidation. To participate, the fund was required to pay a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008, for coverage through December 18, 2008. In December 2008, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through April 30, 2009, and the fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008. In March 2009, t he U.S. Treasury extended the program through September 18, 2009, and the fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008.
E. In preparing the financial statements as of November 30, 2009, management considered the impact of subsequent events occurring through January 11, 2010, for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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.
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 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 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. 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 Statement of Net Assets. 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. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (November 30, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal 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.
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.
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, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $193,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.08% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
43
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. 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).
The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of November 30, 2009, based on the inputs used to value them:
| | | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments | ($000) | ($000) | ($000) |
Tax-Exempt Municipal Bonds | — | 927,103 | — |
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 | (2) | — | — |
Total | (2) | 927,103 | — |
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period. | | | |
D. At November 30, 2009, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:
| | | | |
| | | | ($000) |
| | Number of | Aggregate | Unrealized |
| | Long (Short) | Settlement | Appreciation |
Futures Contracts | Expiration | Contracts | Value | (Depreciation) |
10-Year United States Treasury Note/Bond | March 2010 | (20) | 2,399 | (32) |
30-Year United States Treasury Note/Bond | March 2010 | (5) | 613 | (12) |
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.
E. 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.
For tax purposes, at November 30, 2009, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $2,476,000 to offset future net capital gains through November 30, 2016.
The fund had realized losses totaling $1,445,000 through November 30, 2009, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.
44
Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
At November 30, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $905,800,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $21,303,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $28,945,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $7,642,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
F. During the year ended November 30, 2009, the fund purchased $221,585,000 of investment securities and sold $133,742,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsib ility 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.

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 the account service fee described in the prospectus. If such a 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.”
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.

Six Months Ended November 30, 2009 | | | |
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses |
| Account Value | Account Value | Paid During |
Ohio Tax-Exempt Fund | 5/31/2009 | 11/30/2009 | Period1 |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | | |
Money Market | $1,000.00 | $1,001.60 | $0.85 |
Long-Term | 1,000.00 | 1,042.12 | 0.87 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | |
Money Market | $1,000.00 | $1,024.22 | $0.86 |
Long-Term | 1,000.00 | 1,024.22 | 0.86 |
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 0.17% for the Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and 0.17% 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.

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%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). 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.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.
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. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
49
Yield. A money market fund’s 7-day SEC yield is calculated by annualizing its income distributions for the previous seven days, as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For other funds, 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (in the case of bonds) or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from t he fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.
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’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 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. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 163 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. 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 www.vanguard.com.
