ZIP 47725 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 47725 is a mid-size town in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, with 19,436 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #131 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 41.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 47725 earn a median of $105,528 a year, 34.4% above 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 4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 47725 is valued at $270,700, 10.8% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,632 a month, 16.1% above the national figure, or roughly $19,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 97.2% 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. 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.

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.

Reading ZIP 47725 in context

How 47725 sits inside Vanderburgh County and Indiana.

ZIP 47725 is tabulated inside Vanderburgh County, Indiana, one of 9 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 807 across Indiana. This is a mid-sized ZIP that covers a large share of its county's 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 47725 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 47725 reports a median household income of $105,528, 76% above the $59,821 county median, and 53% above the $68,990 typical IN ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $270,700, 56% above the county figure and 61% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,632 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 47725.

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 47725 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.
