Rockport city, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rockport city is a small town in Indiana, with 2,088 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #225 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 44.2 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 Rockport city earn a median of $43,333 a year, 44.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% below the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 17% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rockport city is valued at $105,000, 65.4% below the national figure and 28% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $628 a month, 55.3% below the national figure, or roughly $7,536 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.4% 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 2.4×, 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. 53% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
