ZIP 44303 in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
ZIP 44303 is a mid-size town in Summit County, Ohio, with 7,721 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #432 of 1,233 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 40 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 ZIP 44303 earn a median of $72,045 a year, 8.3% 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 14% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 44303 is valued at $213,600, 29.6% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $896 a month, 36.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,752 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.9% 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. 52.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
Reading ZIP 44303 in context
How 44303 sits inside Summit County and Ohio.
ZIP 44303 is tabulated inside Summit County, Ohio, one of 34 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. 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 44303 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.
Against its own county, 44303 reports a median household income of $72,045, close to the $73,413 county median, and 6% above the $68,141 typical OH ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $213,600, 3% above the county figure and 28% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $896 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.
Ohio charges 5.75% statewide, and local governments overlapping 44303 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 44303 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.

Affordability in this ZIP
Derived from the Census medians above — indicative, not an offer.
A rent burden above 30% is the federal threshold for cost-burdened households, and a price-to-income multiple above 4× is generally considered a stretched housing market. The mortgage figure is principal and interest only — taxes, insurance and HOA dues are extra.
