Lafayette village, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Lafayette village is a very small community in Ohio, with 339 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #996 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 21% of them. The median age here is 32.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Lafayette village earn a median of $49,653 a year, 36.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below 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 7.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lafayette village is valued at $121,700, 59.9% below the national figure and 28% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $743 a month, 47.2% below the national figure, or roughly $8,916 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.7% 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.

With 339 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lafayette village against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
