Gentryville, IN population, income and ZIP codes

Gentryville town is a very small community in Indiana, with 310 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #610 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 57.4 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 Gentryville town earn a median of $46,774 a year, 40.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 7.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gentryville town is valued at $110,400, 63.6% below the national figure and 24% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $744 a month, 47.1% below the national figure, or roughly $8,928 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.1% 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 2.4×, 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. 47.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 57.4 puts Gentryville town 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 310 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Gentryville town against its county rather than against national figures.
