Overview

Understanding ZIP code 43985

ZIP code 43985 is assigned to Holloway, OH, and falls within Belmont 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 237 people live inside it.

At 362 residents per square mile spread over 0.655 square miles, 43985 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 Holloway looks like

The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 66.4% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1957, making the housing here mid-century. The vacancy rate of 23.3% is high, which in many places reflects seasonal or second-home use rather than abandonment.

The population skews notably young, with a median age of 29.5 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.66 people, and 56.2% are family households.

Getting to work takes 36.6 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 95.1% of workers.

Where to stay

Where to stay in Holloway, OH

Holloway is a smaller community, so options inside 43985 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.

Local costs are modest — median rent here is $810 a month — and accommodation prices in the area tend to be correspondingly reasonable. For reference, Philadelphia, PA is about 315.8 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 43985 is used for

Beyond addressing mail, 43985 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, 43985 offers a compact profile of Holloway: 237 residents, 0.0% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 0.0%. 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. 43985 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Holloway 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.

Does 43985 cover more than one city or county?
This page lists Holloway as the primary place and Belmont County as the county. ZIP codes follow mail delivery routes rather than municipal or county lines, so a single code can straddle boundaries, and USPS also recognises alternate acceptable city names for many codes. If you need the definitive answer for a specific street address, the USPS ZIP Code Lookup is the authority.
Can ZIP code 43985 change?
Yes. USPS adjusts ZIP codes as delivery volumes shift — codes are occasionally split, merged, retired or newly created, and boundaries move more often than most people assume. The Census Bureau's ZCTA definitions, which underpin the demographic figures on this page, are redrawn only once a decade, so the two can drift apart between censuses.

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.
