Owensville town, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Owensville town is a small town in Indiana, with 1,232 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #315 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 40.7 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 Owensville town earn a median of $57,438 a year, 26.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Owensville town is valued at $114,800, 62.2% below the national figure and 21% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $681 a month, 51.6% below the national figure, or roughly $8,172 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 74.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
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.
