Open this topic on the map Home prices by ZIP code

Home prices across Ohio have not moved together over the past decade. This ranks the 25 Ohio ZIP codes with the largest percentage gain in typical home value over the trailing ten years, largest gain first, a list often led by the close-in neighborhoods of Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland, where relatively affordable, well-located housing drew a decade of demand, alongside small towns catching up from a low starting point. At the top of the list, typical values have more than doubled.

A large percentage gain can mean genuine appreciation or simply a low starting price; each ZIP code's own page shows both the starting and the current value, so you can tell which.

How this was measured

The Federal Housing Finance Agency's house price index follows the same houses through repeat sales and refinance appraisals on conforming mortgages, ZIP by ZIP, back to the 1980s in most of Ohio; FHFA calls the ZIP series developmental. The map shows the change over the latest ten years of each ZIP's index (2015 to 2025 for most), and the card adds the five-year and one-year changes and how far prices stand above their 2000 level. The median Ohio ZIP gained 92% in the decade, against inflation of roughly a third; inner-city Columbus and Cincinnati neighbourhoods more than tripled, a few small-town ZIPs barely moved, and rural ZIPs with too few sales have no index at all. Realtor.com's monthly listing metrics and Zillow's rent index show what the market is asking right now.

838 of 1,233 ZIP codes have a figure; ZIP codes without one are left off the list, not counted as zero. Ties are broken by ZIP code.

Every ZIP code's own page carries the full detail behind its figure, and the Home prices topic page ranks the whole state.
