Rushville city, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rushville city is a mid-size town in Indiana, with 6,186 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #115 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 40 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Rushville city earn a median of $57,269 a year, 27.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 16.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rushville city is valued at $120,000, 60.4% below the national figure and 18% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $844 a month, 40% below the national figure, or roughly $10,128 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.7% 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 2.1×, 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. 57.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
