Harrison, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Harrison city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 13,460 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #137 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 37.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Harrison city earn a median of $100,913 a year, 28.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 52% above 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 5.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Harrison city is valued at $221,900, 26.9% below the national figure and 32% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,104 a month, 21.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,248 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.1% 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 2.2×, 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. 74.8% 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.
