Walnut Creek CDP, OH in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Walnut Creek CDP is a small town in Ohio, with 1,078 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #658 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 51.7 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 Walnut Creek CDP earn a median of $74,167 a year, 5.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above the $66,250 median for the 689 Ohio cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 1.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Walnut Creek CDP is valued at $237,100, 21.9% below the national figure and 41% above the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,255 a month, 10.7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,060 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.3% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.2% 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.
A median age of 51.7 puts Walnut Creek CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
