Helmsburg, IN population, income and housing data

Helmsburg CDP is a very small community in Indiana, with 322 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #599 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 40.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Helmsburg CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Helmsburg CDP is valued at $86,000, 71.7% below the national figure and 41% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 88.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 322 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Helmsburg CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Helmsburg CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
