Nashville, IN population, income and ZIP codes

Nashville town is a small town in Indiana, with 1,420 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #287 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 62.7 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.

Households in Nashville town earn a median of $48,750 a year, 37.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 10.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Nashville town is valued at $246,700, 18.7% below the national figure and 69% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $912 a month, 35.1% below the national figure, or roughly $10,944 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 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 62.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 62.7 puts Nashville town well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
