Jimmerson Lake, IN population, income and housing data

Jimmerson Lake CDP is a small town in Indiana, with 1,076 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #339 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 54 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Jimmerson Lake CDP earn a median of $98,060 a year, 24.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 59% above the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Jimmerson Lake CDP is valued at $317,100, 4.5% above the national figure and 118% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 98.7% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 54 puts Jimmerson Lake CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

The Census withheld gross rent for Jimmerson Lake CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
