Mount Summit, IN population, income and ZIP codes

Mount Summit town is a very small community in Indiana, with 742 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #426 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 58 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.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mount Summit town is valued at $211,000, 30.5% below the national figure and 45% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $906 a month, 35.6% below the national figure, or roughly $10,872 across a full year. 89.1% 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.

The Census withheld household income for Mount Summit town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
