Delphi city, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Delphi city is a small town in Indiana, with 2,913 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #180 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 39.5 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 Delphi city earn a median of $43,548 a year, 44.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 29% below 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 13.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 22.1% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
