Granger CDP, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Granger CDP is a small city in Indiana, with 30,279 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #35 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 40.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Granger CDP earn a median of $117,348 a year, 49.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 91% 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 4.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Granger CDP is valued at $302,500, essentially level with the national figure and 108% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,381 a month, 1.8% below the national figure, or roughly $16,572 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.1% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95.8% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
