Jasper city, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Jasper city is a mid-size town in Indiana, with 16,421 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #56 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 37.7 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 Jasper city earn a median of $65,283 a year, 16.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 11.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Jasper city is valued at $203,300, 33% below the national figure and 40% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $741 a month, 47.3% below the national figure, or roughly $8,892 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.6% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
