Romney CDP, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Romney CDP is a very small community in Indiana, with 561 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #485 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 37.4 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 Romney CDP earn a median of $61,133 a year, 22.2% 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. 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Romney CDP is valued at $155,300, 48.8% below the national figure and 7% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 93.8% 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 561 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Romney CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Romney 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.
