Mount Auburn, IN population, income and ZIP codes

Mount Auburn town is a very small community in Indiana, with 101 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #853 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 42.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Mount Auburn town earn a median of $69,167 a year, 11.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% 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 13.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mount Auburn town is valued at $134,400, 55.7% below the national figure and 8% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $540 a month, 61.6% below the national figure, or roughly $6,480 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.4% 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 1.9×, 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. 59.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 101 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Mount Auburn town against its county rather than against national figures.
