Jeffersonville city, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Jeffersonville city is a small city in Indiana, with 50,176 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #21 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 39.1 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 Jeffersonville city earn a median of $70,157 a year, 10.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% above 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 11% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Jeffersonville city is valued at $208,500, 31.3% below the national figure and 43% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,090 a month, 22.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,080 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
