Wildwood, IN population, income and housing data

Wildwood CDP is a very small community in Indiana, with 191 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #728 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 24.1 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 Wildwood CDP earn a median of $64,643 a year, 17.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% above 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 7.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wildwood CDP is valued at $208,300, 31.3% below the national figure and 43% 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. 52.9% 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.

A median age of 24.1 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 191 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Wildwood CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Wildwood 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.
