Sunman town, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sunman town is a small town in Indiana, with 1,283 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #304 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 30.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Sunman town earn a median of $72,279 a year, 8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% above the $61,527 median for the 355 Indiana cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 12.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sunman town is valued at $188,700, 37.8% below the national figure and 30% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $845 a month, 39.9% below the national figure, or roughly $10,140 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
