Ingalls town, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ingalls town is a small town in Indiana, with 2,453 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #200 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 36.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Ingalls town earn a median of $72,330 a year, 7.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above 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 8.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ingalls town is valued at $161,000, 46.9% below the national figure and 11% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,392 a month, 1% below the national figure, or roughly $16,704 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.1% 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 2.2×, 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. 80.3% 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.
