Battle Ground, IN population, income and ZIP codes

Battle Ground town is a small town in Indiana, with 1,989 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #232 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 Battle Ground town earn a median of $104,583 a year, 33.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 70% above 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 4.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Battle Ground town is valued at $268,300, 11.6% below the national figure and 84% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $833 a month, 40.8% below the national figure, or roughly $9,996 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.8% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
