Overview

Understanding ZIP code 43117

ZIP code 43117 is assigned to Derby, OH, and falls within Pickaway County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 9 people live inside it.

At 529 residents per square mile spread over 0.017 square miles, 43117 reads as a small-town area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.

Living here

What life in Derby looks like

The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 100.0% of housing units here. At 0.0%, vacancy is low — housing here is tightly held.

The population skews not published, with a median age of None against 42 nationally. Households average just 1.0 people, and 100.0% consist of one person living alone — a signature of areas with a lot of studio and one-bedroom stock.

Where to stay

Where to stay in Derby, OH

Derby is a smaller community, so options inside 43117 may be limited to a handful of independent inns, motels or bed-and-breakfast properties. Travellers often widen the search to the surrounding area, where the choice is greater and prices are usually competitive.

For reference, Chicago, IL is about 273.3 miles away in a straight line, which is worth factoring in if you are comparing a stay here against one closer to the city centre.

Practical uses

What ZIP code 43117 is used for

Beyond addressing mail, 43117 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.

For anyone weighing a move, 43117 offers a compact profile of Derby: 9 residents, and 0.0% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.

One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 43117 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Derby may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.

On accuracy. ACS figures are survey estimates, not counts. The margin of error shown alongside the population figure means the true value has a 90% chance of falling in that range. For small ZIP codes the error can be large relative to the estimate — treat the direction as more reliable than the exact number. This page reports data for ZCTA 43117, the Census approximation of the USPS delivery area.
