Georgetown town, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Georgetown town is a small town in Indiana, with 3,789 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #155 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 34 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Georgetown town earn a median of $110,537 a year, 40.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 80% 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 1.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Georgetown town is valued at $262,600, 13.4% below the national figure and 80% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $874 a month, 37.8% below the national figure, or roughly $10,488 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.5% 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. 81.6% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
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.
