Lucas, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Lucas village is a very small community in Ohio, with 524 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #875 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 40.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Lucas village earn a median of $57,353 a year, 27% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% below 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 8.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lucas village is valued at $116,800, 61.5% below the national figure and 31% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $764 a month, 45.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,168 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16% 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×, 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. 61.2% 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 524 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lucas village against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
