Enchanted Hills CDP, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Enchanted Hills CDP is a very small community in Indiana, with 867 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #393 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 52.8 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 Enchanted Hills CDP earn a median of $67,642 a year, 13.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 11.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Enchanted Hills CDP is valued at $199,200, 34.3% below the national figure and 37% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,177 a month, 16.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84% 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 52.8 puts Enchanted Hills 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. With 867 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Enchanted Hills CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
