ZIP 45119 in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
ZIP 45119 is a very small community in Brown County, Ohio, with 217 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1104 of 1,233 ranked by population — larger than 10% of them. The median age here is 59.7 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 45119 earn a median of $123,315 a year, 57% above the national figure of $78,538. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 45119 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 88.2% 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. 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.
A median age of 59.7 puts ZIP 45119 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. With 217 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 45119 against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld home value, gross rent for ZIP 45119 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
