ZIP 46203

What ZIP 46203 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 46203 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 36,544 and a median household income of $51,050. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

A home at the median costs roughly 2.6 years of median household income, a little below the midpoint of the 29,491 tabulation areas reporting both. Buying is within reach of a typical local income here in a way it is not across most of the country.

Rent absorbs roughly 23% of median household income, among the highest quarter of reporting areas. Because renter households usually earn below the area-wide median, the burden on actual renters runs higher than this ratio shows.

Half the residents are under 34.9, young enough to place 46203 in the youngest quarter of the 32,853 areas reporting an age. Campuses, barracks, and dense rental districts dominate this end of the range, and where that is the cause the income and poverty figures describe students rather than settled households.

ZCTAs approximate USPS ZIP codes rather than matching them, and these are 5-year ACS estimates, so they trail current conditions.
