ZIP Code 43210

In ZIP code 43210, which sits in Columbus, households bring in a median of $34,423 a year, while per-capita income comes to just $4,565 — a spread that hints at many smaller or student-heavy households rather than large earners. With the county's effective property tax rate at 1.47% and a combined sales tax of 8.00%, a meaningful share of each paycheck goes toward housing costs and everyday purchases. Stretching $34,423 across rent or a mortgage, groceries, and other essentials takes careful planning here, since the sales tax alone adds noticeably to the price of most goods bought locally.
