Grove City, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Grove City city is a small city in Ohio, with 41,831 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #29 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 40.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Grove City city earn a median of $90,888 a year, 15.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 37% 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 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Grove City city is valued at $283,300, 6.6% below the national figure and 68% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,282 a month, 8.8% below the national figure, or roughly $15,384 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.9% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.3% 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.
