Urbana, OH population, income and ZIP codes

Urbana city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 11,153 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #168 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 38 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 Urbana city earn a median of $66,768 a year, 15% 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 12.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Urbana city is valued at $147,300, 51.5% below the national figure and 13% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $911 a month, 35.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,932 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 2.2×, 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. 59.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
