Crawfordsville city, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Crawfordsville city is a mid-size town in Indiana, with 16,408 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #57 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 36.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Crawfordsville city earn a median of $49,327 a year, 37.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below 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 18.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Crawfordsville city is valued at $134,100, 55.8% below the national figure and 8% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $831 a month, 40.9% below the national figure, or roughly $9,972 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
