Overview
Understanding ZIP code 45359
ZIP code 45359 is assigned to Pleasant Hill, OH, and falls within Miami 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 2,041 people live inside it.
At 148 residents per square mile spread over 13.783 square miles, 45359 reads as a rural 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.
Household earnings track close to the national picture. The median of $70,707 puts 45359 near the middle of the pack, ahead of 51% 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 Pleasant Hill looks like
Housing in 45359 costs close to the national median. A typical home is valued at $186,600 against a US median of $207,500, and median gross rent runs $725 a month.

The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 89.3% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1955, making the housing here mid-century.

Getting to work takes 25.6 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 84.3% of workers.
Where to stay
Where to stay in Pleasant Hill, OH
45359 covers a rural area, and accommodation within the postal code itself is likely to be sparse — perhaps a country inn, a lodge or a vacation rental rather than a conventional hotel. Widening the search radius is usually the practical approach, and it also opens up more availability at short notice.
Local costs are modest — median rent here is $725 a month — and accommodation prices in the area tend to be correspondingly reasonable. For reference, Chicago, IL is about 212.6 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 45359 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 45359 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, 45359 offers a compact profile of Pleasant Hill: 2,041 residents, a median household income of $70,707, 19.9% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 2.2%. 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. 45359 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Pleasant Hill 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.
