Mackey, IN population, income and ZIP codes

Mackey town is a very small community in Indiana, with 91 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #869 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 10% of them. The median age here is 28.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Mackey town earn a median of $50,833 a year, 35.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% below 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 13.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mackey town is valued at $191,700, 36.8% below the national figure and 32% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $950 a month, 32.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,400 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 28.2 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 91 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Mackey town against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
