Arlington CDP, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Arlington CDP is a very small community in Indiana, with 491 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #515 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 37.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Arlington CDP earn a median of $49,241 a year, 37.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 21% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Arlington CDP is valued at $137,800, 54.6% below the national figure and 5% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
With 491 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Arlington CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Arlington CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
