Hymera town, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hymera town is a very small community in Indiana, with 835 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #400 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 40.2 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 Hymera town earn a median of $46,122 a year, 41.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 12.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hymera town is valued at $79,300, 73.9% below the national figure and 46% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $890 a month, 36.7% below the national figure, or roughly $10,680 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.2% 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 1.7×, 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. 63.6% 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.
