Huntington city, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Huntington city is a mid-size town in Indiana, with 17,026 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #53 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 36.1 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 Huntington city earn a median of $51,220 a year, 34.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% below 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 15.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Huntington city is valued at $104,300, 65.6% below the national figure and 28% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $852 a month, 39.4% below the national figure, or roughly $10,224 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2×, 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. 62.1% 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.
