Schererville town, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Schererville town is a small city in Indiana, with 29,627 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #37 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 96% of them. The median age here is 44.2 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 Schererville town earn a median of $86,020 a year, 9.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 40% above 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 8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Schererville town is valued at $294,600, 2.9% below the national figure and 102% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,224 a month, 12.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,688 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.8% 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.
