West Carrollton, OH population, income and ZIP codes

West Carrollton city is a mid-size town in Ohio, with 13,008 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #146 of 1,265 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 36.7 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 West Carrollton city earn a median of $57,758 a year, 26.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% below 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 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in West Carrollton city is valued at $137,700, 54.6% below the national figure and 18% below the $168,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $972 a month, 30.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,664 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% 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 2.4×, 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. 56% 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.
