The median age here is 44.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole.

Households in ZIP 41759 earn a median of not published a year. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 16.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The Census withheld household income, home value, gross rent for ZIP 41759 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
