9 registrants are listed for ZIP 45338 — a ratio of 1 per 562 residents.
County baseline — Preble County overall: 1 per 587 residents.
Counts describe density, not danger by themselves; proximity to a specific address is what matters. This page publishes the count only — never names, photos, or registrant addresses. For the address-level check, search the official registry: the Ohio Sex Offender Search (eSORN / OffenderWatch) (Ohio Attorney General (eSORN, run with county sheriffs)), or every state at once through the federal NSOPW site.
One honest caveat: this count comes from a compilation of the state registry’s published data. Where a registry also lists work or school locations, a compilation count can read higher than a residence-only official count — the official search above is the deciding check for a specific address.
