Osceola town, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Osceola town is a small town in Indiana, with 2,583 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #194 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 39.5 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 Osceola town earn a median of $63,063 a year, 19.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 14.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Osceola town is valued at $178,300, 41.2% below the national figure and 22% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,346 a month, 4.3% below the national figure, or roughly $16,152 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.6% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84.2% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
