ZIP code 43123

ZIP 43123 is a small city in Franklin County, Ohio, with 66,366 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #2 of 1,233 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 39.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in ZIP 43123 earn a median of $87,883 a year, 11.9% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 43123 is valued at $262,400, 13.5% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,279 a month, 9% below the national figure, or roughly $15,348 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.5% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.

This is a dense urban ZIP, where a single postal boundary can hold more residents than an entire rural county. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 43123 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 43123 reports a median household income of $87,883, 18% above the $74,421 county median, and 29% above the $68,141 typical OH ZIP.

Ohio charges 5.75% statewide, and local governments overlapping 43123 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 43123 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
