Kirklin town, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kirklin town is a very small community in Indiana, with 994 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #358 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 35.8 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 Kirklin town earn a median of $57,250 a year, 27.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below 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 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kirklin town is valued at $92,900, 69.4% below the national figure and 36% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,015 a month, 27.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,180 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.3% 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 1.6×, 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. 73.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

With 994 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Kirklin town against its county rather than against national figures.
