Wall Lake CDP, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Wall Lake CDP is a very small community in Indiana, with 256 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #657 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 32% of them. The median age here is 33.4 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 Wall Lake CDP earn a median of $108,182 a year, 37.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 76% 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Wall Lake CDP is valued at $305,900, essentially level with the national figure and 110% above the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.1% 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.
With 256 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Wall Lake CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Wall Lake 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.
