Elizabethtown, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Elizabethtown CDP is a very small community in Ohio, with 267 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1060 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 49.5 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 Elizabethtown CDP earn a median of $25,625 a year, 67.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 61% below the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 24.7% 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 Elizabethtown CDP is valued at $11,200, 96.3% below the national figure and 93% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,132 a month, 19.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 53% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 0.4×, 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. 52.4% 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.

Elizabethtown CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 53% of median income while homes cost only 0.4× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 267 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Elizabethtown CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
