Bowersville, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Bowersville village is a very small community in Ohio, with 237 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1089 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 13% of them. The median age here is 39.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Bowersville village earn a median of $54,432 a year, 30.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% 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 1.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bowersville village is valued at $114,600, 62.2% below the national figure and 32% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $967 a month, 31.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,604 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% 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 2.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 64% 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.
