Service Areas Around Marion, OH: Marion County, OH and Nearby Villages

A business anywhere in Marion County, OH, or just over the county line, can phone or use the form. Below are the villages around Marion, OH and what the Census tables do and do not say about each.

In short

Oakpoint Credit, in Marion, Ohio, takes funding requests by phone and online form from businesses across Marion County, OH and nearby counties. This page names the villages around Marion, gives ZIP-level Census business counts where they exist, and explains why ZIP counts are not town counts.

Waldo, OH and Prospect, OH: Two Small ZIPs South of Marion, OH

Waldo, OH lies about 9 miles south-southeast of the Oakpoint office and Prospect, OH about 10 miles south-southwest, both in Marion County, OH. ZIP 43356, which includes Waldo, had 31 employer establishments in 2023, and ZIP 43342, which includes Prospect, had 41 (ZIP Code Business Patterns). Those ZIPs reach far beyond the villages: Waldo covers 2.9% of its ZIP's land and Prospect 1.7%, so the counts describe the surrounding area as much as the village.

Other Marion County, OH Villages: Caledonia, Green Camp, La Rue, Morral and New Bloomington

Caledonia, OH (about 9 miles east-northeast), Green Camp, OH, La Rue, OH, Morral, OH and New Bloomington, OH are villages within Marion County, OH. Their ZIP areas hold few employer establishments, and the Census tables do not give reliable figures for places this small. Requests from businesses there follow the same steps as requests from Marion.

Nearby Counties: Morrow, Union, Wyandot and Crawford, OH

Cardington, OH and Mount Gilead, OH in Morrow County, OH, Richwood, OH in Union County, OH, Upper Sandusky, OH and Nevada, OH in Wyandot County, OH, and Bucyrus, OH in Crawford County, OH lie between about 14 and 19 miles from the Oakpoint office. They sit outside Marion County, so the county figures on this site do not describe them. A business there can still send a request by phone or form.

Why Small Places Near Marion, OH Have No Page of Their Own

A page about a place should carry facts about that place. For these villages the Census business counts are either missing or describe a much larger ZIP area, so a separate page would repeat the Marion County, OH figures under another name. They are listed here instead.

Why a ZIP 43302 Figure Is Not a City of Marion, OH Figure

ZIP Code Business Patterns counts establishments by mailing address, and a ZIP's boundaries follow mail routes, not town limits. ZIP 43302, the office ZIP, held 911 employer establishments in 2023, but the City of Marion covers only part of it. Treat any ZIP figure as a figure for the ZIP. The Marion, OH page sets out the county and ZIP counts.
