Bethesda, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Bethesda village is a small town in Ohio, with 1,230 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #624 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 33 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Bethesda village earn a median of $33,606 a year, 57.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 49% below the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 21.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bethesda village is valued at $98,800, 67.4% below the national figure and 41% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $739 a month, 47.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,868 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 60.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
