Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
The 12 months ended November 30, 2013, marked a difficult period for the bond market, mainly because of concerns about the next steps in the Federal Reserve’s stimulus program. For municipal bond investors, another layer of unease was added by Detroit’s bankruptcy filing and news reports highlighting Puerto Rico’s financial struggles.
Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned –4.28% for the fiscal year, lagging the –2.71% return of its state-specific benchmark. Most of the gap came from the fund’s more substantial holdings in longer-maturity bonds, which underperformed their shorter-term counterparts this time around. However, the fund was able to outpace the –5.49% average return of its peers, thanks in part to its underweighting of distressed Puerto Rico issuers, which significantly underperformed over the period.
With short-term rates still tacked down near zero by the Fed, Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 0.02% for the period; its benchmark returned 0.00%, which was also the average result for its new peer group. (The Lipper, the company that provides peer-group data has eliminated the Ohio money market category because of the small number of funds. The new peer group includes funds from other states.)

As bond prices fell, the Long-Term Fund’s 30-day SEC yield climbed from 2.13% on November 30, 2012, to 3.79% at the end of August before dropping back to 3.50% by the fiscal year-end. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.) In contrast, the 7-day SEC yield for the Money Market Fund was little changed, inching down to 0.01% on November 30 from 0.05% a year earlier.
The funds are permitted to invest in securities whose income is subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). As of November 30, the Long-Term Fund owned no securities that would generate income distributions subject to the AMT, but the Money Market Fund did.
Before moving on to discuss the markets, I want to mention an important transition at Vanguard. We announced in early November that Robert F. Auwaerter, principal and head of Vanguard Fixed Income Group, intends to retire in March 2014. At the conclusion of this letter, I’ll have more to say about Bob’s important contributions to Vanguard in his 32-year career, and I’ll introduce his successor, Gregory Davis.
Bond prices fell as yields rose over the period’s second half

returned –1.61%. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note closed at 2.74%, up from 1.61% at the end of November 2012.
The broad municipal bond market returned –3.51%. Returns of money market funds and savings accounts continued to be restrained by the Fed’s 0%–0.25% target for short-term interest rates.
International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned –2.93%.
Despite some jolts, U.S. stocks notched an impressive 12-month gain
U.S. stocks powered to a return of about 32% for the fiscal year, despite encountering a few bumps along the way.
Uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve policy contributed to market declines in June and August. But stocks bounced back in September when, to the surprise of some investors, the Fed announced it had no immediate plans to scale back its bond purchases. (In mid-December, the Fed ended several months of speculation by announcing that it would begin tapering the purchases in January 2014.) Corporate profit growth, though not robust, was generally solid during the fiscal year.
International stocks returned about 18% in aggregate. While the developed markets of Europe and the Pacific region performed well for the period, gains were modest for emerging-market stocks.

The bond market’s downturn, coupled with the upswing in stocks that occurred during the fiscal year, provides an occasion for investors to review their portfolio’s asset allocation. In a powerful stock market rally, a portfolio’s mix of stocks and bonds can drift away from its target allocation, as Fran Kinniry, a principal in our Investment Strategy Group, recently reminded clients in an article on our website. “Buying stocks now may actually run counter to what many prudent investors should be doing,” he noted. “If you have an equity-heavy portfolio, you will most likely need to direct new cash flows to bond mutual funds, or sell stock mutual funds to maintain your target asset allocation.”
A strategy that helped dampen the impact of rising rates
In general, thanks to rising revenues and restrained budgets, state and local governments continued their slow recovery from the financial challenges brought on by the Great Recession. That was the case in Ohio over the fiscal year—even as the pace of economic growth slowed, tax revenues continued to edge higher. And on the spending side of the equation, difficult decisions were made regarding pension reforms, while bond issuance was virtually flat compared to the previous fiscal year.

During the period, however, concerns about the direction of U.S. monetary policy together with credit scares for a very limited number of issuers, including Detroit and Puerto Rico, put downward pressure on the overall muni market. The Barclays Ohio Municipal Bond Index reflected this environment, returning –2.71%. Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned less, but was able to exceed its peer-group average by more than a full percentage point owing in part to the advisor’s portfolio positioning, which better prepared the fund for an eventual rise in bond yields and the accompanying decline in prices. For example, the advisor maintained a shorter duration relative to the fund’s benchmark. Duration is a gauge of the sensitivity of bond prices to changes in interest rates; shorter durations (measured in months and years) can lessen the impact of rising rates.
The advisor also continued to favor bonds with higher credit quality. These bonds’ prices tend to stand up better than those of their lower-quality counterparts in periods of market turbulence, and they are generally more easily sold, which provides the fund with liquidity when needed. Relative to its peers, the fund was significantly underweighted in Puerto Rico issues, which performed very poorly.
The advisor also continued to favor bonds with higher credit quality. These bonds’ prices tend to stand up better than those of their lower-quality counterparts in periods of market turbulence, and they are generally more easily sold, which provides the fund with liquidity when needed. At the end of its fiscal year, the fund held no Puerto Rican bonds.
For the Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, returns on savings accounts and other short-term investments have been severely limited since 2008 by the Fed’s policy of maintaining its target for short-term interest rates at 0%–0.25%. As a consequence, the fund returned 0.02% for the fiscal year, a meager result that was nevertheless better than the average for peers.
A decade-long perspective on the funds’ performance
Over the ten years ended November 30, Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund had an average annual return of 4.09%, outpacing its benchmark index. A more important indication of relative success for this actively managed fund, however, is that it outperformed its peer-group average by almost a full percentage point.
Over the same period, Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 1.34% a year on average, ahead of the 1.06% posted by its peer group.
These results highlight the skill of our experienced portfolio managers, traders, and credit analysts. They also reflect the competitive advantage that Vanguard’s low-cost philosophy can create. A lower-cost fund can steer clear of higher-risk assets because it has no need to offset the drain of high expenses.

Bob Auwaerter’s retirement marks the end of a remarkable era In mid-September 2008, about two weeks after I succeeded Jack Brennan as Vanguard’s chief executive officer, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, igniting the nation’s worst financial crisis in 70 years. It was, to put it mildly, an extremely challenging time.

Muni yields exceed Treasury yields: What does it mean? |
|
At times over the 12 months ended November 30, 10-year municipal bonds nationwide yielded |
substantially more than their Treasury counterparts, even before factoring in munis’ tax-favored |
status. This reversal of what had been the historical relationship between Treasuries and munis |
has occurred often in recent years. The turmoil started with the 2008–2009 financial crisis and |
continued amid dire headlines about state and local finances. |
|
Through June, July, and August, a time when investor concerns mounted over Detroit’s |
bankruptcy filing and the financial health of Puerto Rico, 10-year municipal yields averaged |
31 basis points, or about 12%, more than 10-year Treasuries. By the end of November, the |
gap had closed significantly, but 10-year muni yields were still averaging about 8 basis points, |
or 3%, more. Over the past decade, however, muni yields have averaged 5% less than their |
Treasury equivalents. |
|
We believe investors shouldn’t be unduly swayed by this turnabout. Will it vanish if they chase |
it? Or do investors now perceive muni bonds to be riskier? Rather than speculate, we believe |
investors should carefully evaluate the role of tax-exempt bonds in a diversified portfolio. For |
any investor, the proportion of muni holdings (if any) should be based on long-term goals, risk |
tolerance, and tax considerations—not on what may be transient yield trends. |

Through it all, I was able to depend on Bob Auwaerter’s strong command of the Fixed Income Group, which persevered under these treacherous conditions. Although that was a difficult period for Vanguard and the industry, it was far from the only time I was grateful to have Bob at the helm of our bond group.
Bob, who joined Vanguard in 1981, was an original member of the three-person Fixed Income Group headed by Ian MacKinnon. Over the years, he held various leadership roles in the department, and he eventually succeeded Ian as its head in 2003. He earned a reputation at Vanguard and within the industry as an extremely dedicated, honest, and insightful decision-maker and leader.
The Fixed Income Group that Bob helped start had total assets of about $1.3 billion in seven funds. He tracked his positions in the two funds he managed then on index cards stored in a small metal box. Thirty-two years later, the 120-person group oversees $750 billion, which represents nearly one-third of Vanguard’s assets under management.
On behalf of our clients, I thank Bob for more than three decades of exemplary service and wish him the best in his retirement.
We’re fortunate that Greg Davis will become the head of the Fixed Income Group. Greg currently serves as chief investment officer for the Asia-Pacific region and as a director of Vanguard
Investments Australia. He joined Vanguard in 1999 and has been head of bond indexing and a senior portfolio manager in the Fixed Income Group. Greg is an eminently qualified successor to Bob, with a strong commitment to the Vanguard way of investing. I couldn’t be more confident in his ability to lead the Fixed Income Group and its deep and talented team.
As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.
Sincerely,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0000932471-14-000868/ohiotaxexempt_96x10x1.jpg)

Advisor’s Report
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013, Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund posted a return of –4.28%, behind its benchmark’s return of –2.71% but ahead of the average return of –5.49% for its peer group. Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 0.02%, marginally more than the 0.00% average for its peers.
The investment environment
Some uncertainty is natural in the financial markets, but during the fiscal year conditions were more unsettled than usual, largely because of fiscal battles in Washington and apprehension over what the Federal Reserve might do next.
The struggles in Washington included a political showdown in December 2012 over scheduled tax increases and spending cuts known as the “fiscal cliff” and, more recently, gridlock over the debt ceiling that led to a partial government shutdown in October. These challenges weighed on gross domestic product (the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the economy), which increased at an annual rate of about 2% during the fiscal year.
Even more disquieting for bond investors was the Fed’s suggesting in May and June that it might soon begin scaling back its $85 billion-per-month bond-buying program. Reasons cited by the Fed included a fall in the national unemployment rate and further signs of recovery in the housing market. After some backpedaling in September, the Fed did decide, just after the close of the funds’ fiscal year, that it would begin a slow tapering of its purchases in January 2014.

The Fed’s policy regarding short-term rates remained unchanged; its target stayed at 0%–0.25%, where it has been since 2008.
With Detroit’s bankruptcy and Puerto Rico’s fiscal woes weighing on market sentiment as well, municipal bond yields—especially those of longer-term securities—climbed significantly during the 12-month period. As you can see in the table on page 9, the yields of very short-term AAA-rated securities remained close to zero, while those of 10-year bonds rose 118 basis points to 2.65% and those of 30-year bonds climbed 163 basis points to 4.10%. Credit spreads also widened as investors grew less willing to take on risk.
As a whole, Ohio municipal bonds returned –2.71%, as measured by our benchmark index, faring slightly better than the broad U.S. municipal market at –3.51%. The pace of economic growth slowed in the Buckeye State during the funds’ fiscal year, owing in part to some weakness in the manufacturing sector. Additional strains included the unemployment rate ticking up and state tax revenues rebounding more slowly than the national average.
However, many municipal bond issuers in Ohio continued to deal with their financial challenges head-on. Officials made tough decisions to reform two statewide pension plans, and more reforms are being carried out at the local-government level. As for spending, municipal bond issuance for the state remained virtually flat compared with the previous year.
Management of the funds
For the fiscal year, the returns of longer-term maturities in particular were hurt by the rise in interest rates. This dynamic gave an advantage to the Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund compared with its peer funds, which, on average, held more longer-dated securities. The same positioning, however, put the fund at a disadvantage to its benchmark, which had even fewer longer-term securities.
Another plus for the fund during the fiscal year was the liquidity of its holdings. We were more careful than usual to have an allocation to bonds that can easily be sold without affecting the fund’s core positioning. This approach, which is especially useful during volatile periods, allows us to have “dry powder” available to buy bonds when they are undervalued in the market.
The fund held a small allocation to Puerto Rican bonds, which suffered sharp price declines. (State municipal bond funds often include securities from Puerto Rico, because the income they generate is free from every state’s income tax as well as from the federal tax.) We had less exposure to these bonds than many competing funds did, which proved to
10
be a good call. By the close of the period, the fund had sold virtually all of its Puerto Rican debt.
With the Fed still keeping short-term interest rates exceptionally low, the return for the Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund was paper-thin. In managing this fund, we adhered to our strategy of investing in high-quality money market securities from issuers closely screened by our own team of credit analysts.
A look ahead
We expect U.S. economic growth to approach 3% in 2014 and the national unemployment rate to keep falling. But the unresolved federal-level fiscal uncertainties of 2013 will continue into the new year, and we wouldn’t be surprised if talk of tax reform, a subject that can include municipal bonds, resurfaces.
The gradual reduction in the Fed’s bond-buying program that will begin in January should allow the Fed to bring the program to a close by the end of 2014. Of course, how the market will react over time to the Fed’s tapering is a big unknown.
As tapering starts, and if economic growth picks up, we expect that interest rates will move modestly higher and lower-credit-quality bonds will outperform. We plan to continue our defensive positioning, in which we have shortened the fund’s averageduration relative to its benchmark, and to maintain higher levels of liquidity so that we can take advantage of attractive opportunities if volatility increases in the municipal market. As usual, our experienced team will continue to seek outperformance through security selection by identifying bonds that are mispriced by the market.

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, 2010–2013), 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, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $68,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.03% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Vanguard and the board of trustees have agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield so as to maintain a zero or positive yield for the fund. Vanguard and the board of trustees may terminate the temporary expense limitation at any time. For the year ended November 30, 2013, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $221,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.04% of the fund’s average net assets).
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).
24
Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
At November 30, 2013, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined 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.
D. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2013, that would require 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 and Options: The fund may use futures contracts and options on 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. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options 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.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate notional 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).
During the year ended November 30, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values. The fund had no open futures contracts at November 30, 2013.
Options on futures contracts are also valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an
43
Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.
During the year ended November 30, 2013, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented 0% of net assets, based on quarterly average market values. The fund had no open options on futures contracts at November 30, 2013.
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, 2010–2013), 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, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $104,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.04% 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, 2013, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
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 $1,130,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
For tax purposes, at November 30, 2013, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $53,000 and $3,567,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.
At November 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $900,226,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,106,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $21,255,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $17,149,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the year ended November 30, 2013, the fund purchased $261,897,000 of investment securities and sold $316,706,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

Redeemed | (19,277) | (7,515) |
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding | (5,828) | 9,115 |
G. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Vanguard Ohio Tax-Free Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund:
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 separate portfolios of Vanguard Ohio Tax-Free Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at November 30, 2013, 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, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian, 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 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.

Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund | $1,000.00 | $1,024.57 | $0.51 |
Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund | $1,000.00 | $1,024.27 | $0.81 |
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: for the Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, 0.10%; and for the Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, 0.16%. (The six-month expense ratio for the Ohio Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund reflects a temporary reduction in operating expenses, described in Note B of the Notes to Financial Statements. Before the reduction, the fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio was 0.16%.) 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
7-Day SEC Yield and 30-Day SEC 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 (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from the fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.
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 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.
49
Credit Quality. For Vanguard money market funds, the Distribution by Credit Quality table includes tier ratings for consistency with SEC Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which governs money market funds. A First Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and has been rated in the highest short-term rating category for debt obligations by the requisite nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. An unrated security is First Tier if it represents quality comparable to that of a rated security, as determined in accordance with SEC Rule 2a-7. A Second Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and is not a First Tier security. For Vanguard tax-exempt bond funds, credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used.
Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.
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.
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 181 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 vanguard.com.
