Browns Crossing, IN population, income and housing data

Browns Crossing CDP is a very small community in Indiana, with 731 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #429 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 27.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Browns Crossing CDP earn a median of $155,467 a year, 98% above the national figure of $78,538 and 153% above the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 1.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Browns Crossing CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 76.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

A median age of 27.3 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 731 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Browns Crossing CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Browns Crossing 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.
