Westport town, IN in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Westport town is a small town in Indiana, with 1,666 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #265 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 39.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Westport town earn a median of $52,083 a year, 33.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 15% below 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 17.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Westport town is valued at $136,500, 55% below the national figure and 6% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $724 a month, 48.5% below the national figure, or roughly $8,688 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.7% 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. 73.8% 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.
