ZIP code 47123

ZIP 47123 is a very small community in Crawford County, Indiana, with 168 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #727 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 9% of them. The median age here is 24.5 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 ZIP 47123 earn a median of $70,737 a year, 9.9% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 23.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 47123 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 36.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 24.5 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 168 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 47123 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for ZIP 47123 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.

ZIP 47123 is tabulated inside Crawford County, Indiana, one of 8 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 807 across Indiana. This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most addresses. 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 47123 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 47123 reports a median household income of $70,737, 37% above the $51,535 county median, and 3% above the $68,990 typical IN ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of not published. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published 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 47123.

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 47123 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.
