ZIP code 46941

ZIP 46941 is a very small community in Wabash County, Indiana, with 878 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #609 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 24% of them. The median age here is 45 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 ZIP 46941 earn a median of $77,019 a year, 1.9% below the national figure of $78,538. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 5.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 46941 is valued at $162,800, 46.3% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $935 a month, 33.5% below the national figure, or roughly $11,220 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.6% 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 2.1×, 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. 86.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 878 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 46941 against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.

ZIP 46941 is tabulated inside Wabash County, Indiana, one of 10 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 807 across Indiana. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 46941 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 46941 reports a median household income of $77,019, 14% above the $67,318 county median, and 12% above the $68,990 typical IN ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $162,800, 11% above the county figure and 3% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $935 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Indiana charges 7% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 46941.

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 46941 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.
