Bunker Hill town, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bunker Hill town is a very small community in Indiana, with 956 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #369 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 43.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Bunker Hill town earn a median of $46,389 a year, 40.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bunker Hill town is valued at $85,400, 71.9% below the national figure and 41% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $632 a month, 55% below the national figure, or roughly $7,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% 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 1.8×, 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. 64.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
