Onward, IN population, income and ZIP codes

Onward town is a very small community in Indiana, with 155 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #775 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 36.5 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 Onward town earn a median of $59,107 a year, 24.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% below the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 1.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Onward town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 91.8% 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.

With 155 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Onward town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Onward town 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.
