Seymour city, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Seymour city is a mid-size town in Indiana, with 21,536 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #48 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 33.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Seymour city earn a median of $63,388 a year, 19.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% above 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 14.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Seymour city is valued at $153,300, 49.5% below the national figure and 5% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $954 a month, 32.1% below the national figure, or roughly $11,448 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.1% 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 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. 57.1% 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.
