Clayton town, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Clayton town is a very small community in Indiana, with 874 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #387 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 43.3 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 Clayton town earn a median of $83,500 a year, 6.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 36% 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 5.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clayton town is valued at $214,900, 29.2% below the national figure and 48% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,125 a month, 20% below the national figure, or roughly $13,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.2% 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. 72.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 874 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Clayton town against its county rather than against national figures.
