Gratiot, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Gratiot village 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 #1061 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 38.1 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 Gratiot village earn a median of $68,125 a year, 13.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% 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 14.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gratiot village is valued at $123,100, 59.4% below the national figure and 27% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $819 a month, 41.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,828 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.4% 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 1.8×, 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. 64.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 267 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Gratiot village against its county rather than against national figures.
