Fayette County, IN Property Records & Statistics
Fayette County is one of the more affordable housing markets in Indiana. The median rent is $759, below the state figure of $819.50 and the national figure of $840.25. The median home value of $119,050 is well under the Indiana median of $157,400 and the national median of $173,750, so buying a home here costs considerably less than in most of the state.
Property taxes are modest as well. The county's median property tax rate is 0.65%, slightly lower than Indiana's 0.67% and below the national rate of 0.74%. Combined with lower home values, the actual tax bill on a typical house is small compared with many other places.
Income is the other side of the picture. The median household income is $50,809, which trails both the state median of $65,530 and the national median of $65,108. Lower prices and lower earnings tend to go together, and in Fayette County the gap in income is smaller than the gap in housing costs relative to the state.

Renters occupy 21.85% of housing in the county, higher than the state share of 19.27% and nearly level with the national share of 21.81%. That points to a somewhat more active rental market than the Indiana average, supported by rents that sit below state and national levels.
