ZIP code 43331

ZIP 43331 is a small town in Logan County, Ohio, with 4,012 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #591 of 1,233 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 50 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 ZIP 43331 earn a median of $60,159 a year, 23.4% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 43331 is valued at $130,300, 57.1% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $886 a month, 37% below the national figure, or roughly $10,632 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.7% 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. 88.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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 50 puts ZIP 43331 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.

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.

ZIP 43331 is tabulated inside Logan County, Ohio, one of 13 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,233 across Ohio. Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it.

Against its own county, 43331 reports a median household income of $60,159, 27% below the $82,631 county median, and 12% below the $68,141 typical OH ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $130,300, 33% below the county figure and 22% below the statewide ZIP median.

Ohio charges 5.75% statewide, and local governments overlapping 43331 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 43331 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.
