Columbus Grove, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Columbus Grove village is a small town in Ohio, with 1,741 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #525 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 34.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Columbus Grove village earn a median of $70,242 a year, 10.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% above the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Columbus Grove village is valued at $154,300, 49.1% below the national figure and 8% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $885 a month, 37.1% below the national figure, or roughly $10,620 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.1% 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 2.2×, 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. 77.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
