St. Wendel, IN population, income and housing data

St. Wendel CDP is a small town in Indiana, with 1,120 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #335 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 35.8 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 St. Wendel CDP earn a median of $83,182 a year, 5.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 35% 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 7.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in St. Wendel CDP is valued at $267,900, 11.7% below the national figure and 84% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for St. Wendel 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.
