Memphis CDP, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Memphis CDP is a very small community in Indiana, with 928 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #372 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 61% 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 Memphis CDP earn a median of $116,852 a year, 48.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 90% 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Memphis CDP is valued at $233,600, 23% below the national figure and 60% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,173 a month, 16.6% below the national figure, or roughly $14,076 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12% 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 2×, 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. 88.3% 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. 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.
