Cordry Sweetwater Lakes, IN population, income and ZIP codes

Cordry Sweetwater Lakes CDP is a small town in Indiana, with 1,200 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #321 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 53.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Cordry Sweetwater Lakes CDP earn a median of $100,167 a year, 27.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 63% 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 3.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cordry Sweetwater Lakes CDP is valued at $284,200, 6.3% below the national figure and 95% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 94.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 53.3 puts Cordry Sweetwater Lakes CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

The Census withheld gross rent for Cordry Sweetwater Lakes 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.
