Forestville, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Forestville CDP is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 11,213 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #166 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 45.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Forestville CDP earn a median of $93,672 a year, 19.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 41% above 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 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Forestville CDP is valued at $296,000, 2.4% below the national figure and 76% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,400 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,800 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.9% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.7% 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.

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.
