How does Crown Point compare to other US cities?

Where Crown Point sits among all US cities (population 1,000+) on each measure, computed live from Census and FBI data.

Household income 75% higher than other cities
Home value 60% pricier than other cities
Median rent 47% pricier than other cities
Safety 81% safer than other cities

"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.

A national percentile can hide a lot of local variation: narrowed to Indiana alone, Crown Point ranks #26 of 109 Indiana cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Crown Point against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Indiana only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.

Indiana-relative analysis

Median Home Value is Crown Point's strongest outlier among Indiana cities

Among the 771 Indiana cities PlainCities tracks with reported median home value data, Crown Point ranks #65 - the 92nd percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Crown Point only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
