Thurston village, OH in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Thurston village is a very small community in Ohio, with 615 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #820 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 35% of them. The median age here is 36.6 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 Thurston village earn a median of $47,679 a year, 39.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% below the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 12.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Thurston village is valued at $144,700, 52.3% below the national figure and 14% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,082 a month, 23% below the national figure, or roughly $12,984 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.2% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.2% 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.
