ZIP code 46582

ZIP 46582 is a mid-size town in Kosciusko County, Indiana, with 14,490 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #171 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 33.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in ZIP 46582 earn a median of $67,161 a year, 14.5% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 14.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 46582 is valued at $231,900, 23.6% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,085 a month, 22.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,020 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.4% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.

Indiana charges 7% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 46582.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 46582 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
