Household Median Income by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Indiana

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Indianapolis metropolitan area exhibits a pronounced income gradient, with affluent suburban zip codes north of the city (likely Hamilton County communities such as Carmel, Fishers, and Zionsville) reaching $125,000–$150,000, while central Indianapolis zip codes fall sharply to $20,000–$40,000, creating one of the state's starkest intra-regional contrasts. Southern Indiana, particularly the rural stretch from the Terre Haute area through the unglaciated hill country toward the Kentucky border, consistently registers lower median incomes in the $30,000–$50,000 range, with scattered pockets of deeper poverty. Northern Indiana displays a more heterogeneous pattern, where moderate-income manufacturing and agricultural communities in the $50,000–$80,000 range are interspersed with lower-income urban cores around cities like South Bend, Fort Wayne, and Gary.
