Martinsburg, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Martinsburg village is a very small community in Ohio, with 314 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1022 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 38.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Martinsburg village earn a median of $49,375 a year, 37.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Martinsburg village is valued at $90,000, 70.3% below the national figure and 47% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $908 a month, 35.4% below the national figure, or roughly $10,896 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.8×, 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. 64.1% 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.
