Highland town, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Highland town is a mid-size town in Indiana, with 23,749 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #42 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 44.5 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 Highland town earn a median of $76,219 a year, 3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Highland town is valued at $219,500, 27.7% below the national figure and 51% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,202 a month, 14.5% below the national figure, or roughly $14,424 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
