Franklin Furnace, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Franklin Furnace CDP is a small town in Ohio, with 1,511 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #558 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 37.5 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 Franklin Furnace CDP earn a median of $60,306 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. 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Franklin Furnace CDP is valued at $116,200, 61.7% below the national figure and 31% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $599 a month, 57.4% below the national figure, or roughly $7,188 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.9% 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 1.9×, 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. 79.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
