Overview

Understanding ZIP code 44310

ZIP code 44310 is assigned to Akron, OH, and falls within Summit 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 24,420 people live inside it.

At 3,957 residents per square mile spread over 6.171 square miles, 44310 reads as a densely built-up area. It is a mid-sized postal code by population, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.

Household earnings are well below the national median. At $38,912, 44310 ranks among the lower-income postal codes, ahead of 5% of them. The US median for comparison is $70,109. Bear in mind that median income describes the midpoint household, not the average — it is not pulled upward by a handful of very high earners the way a mean would be.

Living here

What life in Akron looks like

Housing in 44310 costs well below the national median. A typical home is valued at $91,400 against a US median of $207,500, and median gross rent runs $925 a month. The split between owning and renting is fairly even at 39.3% owner-occupied, which tends to indicate a mix of housing types rather than one dominant form.

The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 72.7% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1949, making the housing here mid-century.

The population skews younger than the country as a whole, with a median age of 34.1 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.44 people, and 49.2% are family households.

Getting to work takes 25.2 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 71.2% of workers.

Where to stay

Where to stay in Akron, OH

Akron is a built-up area, so you will generally find a mix of chain hotels near the main approach roads and a smaller number of independent properties closer to the centre. Staying in 44310 itself often costs less than an equivalent room in the nearest downtown while keeping you close to it.

Median rent in 44310 is $925 a month, which sits in the middle of the national range; accommodation pricing locally tends to be similarly mid-market. For reference, Chicago, IL is about 321.6 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 44310 is used for

Beyond addressing mail, 44310 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, 44310 offers a compact profile of Akron: 24,420 residents, a median household income of $38,912, 14.2% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 9.8%. 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. 44310 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Akron 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 44310 cover more than one city or county?
This page lists Akron as the primary place and Summit County as the county.

If you need the definitive answer for a specific street address, the USPS ZIP Code Lookup is the authority.
Can ZIP code 44310 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.
