Prairieton, IN population, income and housing data

Prairieton CDP is a very small community in Indiana, with 449 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #530 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 35.1 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 Prairieton CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 26.7% 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 Prairieton CDP is valued at $374,100, 23.3% above the national figure and 157% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 37.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 449 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Prairieton CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Prairieton 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.
