What Marysville's numbers say about water damage
Marysville is one of the fastest-growing Columbus-metro suburbs tracked here: 30,190 people (2025 estimate), up 17.9% since 2020[3]. On the map that's 17.6 square miles holding 1,715 residents per square mile, the 15th densest of the suburbs here; it sits entirely in Union County, with ZIP code 43040[4].
Marysville mixes 25% of homes built since 2010 and 30% before 1980[2]: new supply lines and water heaters in one house, aging pipe and original valves in the next — so where a leak starts depends a lot on the address.
One ZIP code covers the whole city: 43040[7].

Of the 15 claims rated in a flood zone, 10 were in FEMA's high-risk areas (zones A or V) and 5 outside them (zones B, C or X)[1][8] — flooding here is not only a high-risk-zone problem.
