Pickerington city, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pickerington city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 23,828 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #71 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 35.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Pickerington city earn a median of $116,645 a year, 48.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 76% above 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 2.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pickerington city is valued at $309,700, 2.1% above the national figure and 84% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,598 a month, 13.7% above the national figure, or roughly $19,176 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.4% 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. 78.6% 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.

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.
