ZIP code 47453

ZIP 47453 is a very small community in Greene County, Indiana, with 325 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #688 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 14% of them. The median age here is 44.6 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 47453 earn a median of $50,000 a year, 36.3% 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 13.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 47453 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 28.8% 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.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for ZIP 47453 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.

Indiana charges 7% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 47453.

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 47453 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
