Laura, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Laura village is a very small community in Ohio, with 492 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #893 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 31.9 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 Laura village earn a median of $73,125 a year, 6.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 5.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Laura 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 $800 a month, 43.1% below the national figure, or roughly $9,600 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 1.7×, 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. 77.6% 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.
