Greenfield city, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Greenfield city is a mid-size town in Indiana, with 24,308 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #41 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 38.1 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 Greenfield city earn a median of $74,949 a year, 4.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Greenfield city is valued at $205,800, 32.2% below the national figure and 41% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,128 a month, 19.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,536 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.1% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 61.7% 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.
