Notre Dame, IN population, income and ZIP codes

Notre Dame CDP is a mid-size town in Indiana, with 6,754 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #104 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 20.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Notre Dame CDP earn a median of $19,082 a year, 75.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 69% 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 50.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Notre Dame CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,268 a month, 9.8% below the national figure, or roughly $15,216 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 79.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. 3.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 20.2 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.

The Census withheld home value for Notre Dame CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
