Oakwood (Cuyahoga Co.), OH population, income and ZIP codes

Oakwood village (Cuyahoga County) is a small town in Ohio, with 3,526 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #363 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 45.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Oakwood village (Cuyahoga County) earn a median of $65,038 a year, 17.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 23.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oakwood village (Cuyahoga County) is valued at $172,600, 43.1% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $975 a month, 30.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,700 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
