Key Facts
  • Flat Rock has 186 residents living in 50 occupied households, giving it a household size of about 3.7 people—larger than the national average.
  • The village maintains 48 PO Boxes for 50 households, meaning nearly every household has a box at the post office.
  • With only 0.09 square miles of land area, Flat Rock is one of Ohio's smallest incorporated places.
  • The village has just three named streets: Washington Street, Jefferson Street, and Water Street.
  • The median household income is $26,118, well below the national median.
  • There's no street delivery service—PO Boxes are the only mail delivery option for residents.

Postal Infrastructure

The setup works for a place this size. With fewer than 200 people spread across just three streets, a centralized post office makes more sense than daily delivery routes. Most residents live within walking distance. The median household income of $26,118 reflects a working-class community where practical infrastructure matters more than convenience.

Street Name Patterns

Presidential Names Geographic Feature

The three streets follow classic small-town naming conventions: two presidents (Washington and Jefferson) and one geographic reference (Water Street, likely near a creek or the Sandusky River drainage). The limited street network reflects the village's tiny 0.09-square-mile footprint—you could walk the entire town in minutes.
