ZIP Code 44035

In ZIP code 44035, which takes in Lorain, median household income sits at $56,408 and per-capita income at $32,748 — figures that place the area in working- to middle-income territory rather than among Ohio's wealthier suburbs. Homes here carry a median value of $160,200, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.37% translates into a meaningful annual bill on that amount. Add a combined sales tax of 6.50%, and households face a tax load shaped by everyday purchases as much as by property. Wages and housing costs land below state and national averages, so the overall picture is one of steady, earned-income stability rather than affluence.
