Chauncey, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Chauncey village is a very small community in Ohio, with 822 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #743 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 47.3 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 Chauncey village earn a median of $36,356 a year, 53.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 45% 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 29.5% 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 Chauncey village is valued at $74,000, 75.6% below the national figure and 56% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $743 a month, 47.2% below the national figure, or roughly $8,916 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.5% 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×, 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. 60.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
