Bright CDP, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bright CDP is a mid-size town in Indiana, with 5,735 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #118 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 41.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Bright CDP earn a median of $111,140 a year, 41.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 81% above the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 1.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bright CDP is valued at $246,600, 18.7% below the national figure and 69% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $834 a month, 40.7% below the national figure, or roughly $10,008 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9% 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 2.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 90.4% 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.
