Fortville town, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Fortville town is a mid-size town in Indiana, with 5,092 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #133 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 36.6 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 Fortville town earn a median of $82,763 a year, 5.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 35% above 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 2.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fortville town is valued at $240,300, 20.8% below the national figure and 65% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,094 a month, 22.2% below the national figure, or roughly $13,128 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.9% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.7% 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.
