Calcutta, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Calcutta CDP is a small town in Ohio, with 4,770 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #298 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 51.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Calcutta CDP earn a median of $60,341 a year, 23.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% below the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Calcutta CDP is valued at $159,700, 47.4% below the national figure and 5% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $664 a month, 52.8% below the national figure, or roughly $7,968 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 51.2 puts Calcutta CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
