Elnora, IN population, income and ZIP codes

Elnora town is a very small community in Indiana, with 487 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #518 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 33.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Elnora town earn a median of $48,750 a year, 37.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 14.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Elnora town is valued at $90,500, 70.2% below the national figure and 38% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $809 a month, 42.5% below the national figure, or roughly $9,708 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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 1.9×, 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. 71.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
