Wolcottville town, IN in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Wolcottville town is a small town in Indiana, with 1,126 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #333 of 976 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 32.1 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 Wolcottville town earn a median of $54,583 a year, 30.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below 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 17.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Wolcottville town is valued at $98,300, 67.6% below the national figure and 32% below the $145,600 peer median, while median gross rent runs $819 a month, 41.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,828 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18% 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 1.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 52.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
