Overview
Understanding ZIP code 47123
ZIP code 47123 is assigned to Grantsburg, IN, and falls within Crawford County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 168 people live inside it.
At 119 residents per square mile spread over 1.41 square miles, 47123 reads as a rural area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.
Household earnings track close to the national picture. The median of $70,737 puts 47123 near the middle of the pack, ahead of 51% of them. The US median for comparison is $70,109. Bear in mind that median income describes the midpoint household, not the average — it is not pulled upward by a handful of very high earners the way a mean would be.
Living here
What life in Grantsburg looks like
The building stock is dominated by larger apartment buildings of twenty units or more, which account for 63.9% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1977, making the housing here from the later twentieth century. At 0.0%, vacancy is low — housing here is tightly held.
The population skews notably young, with a median age of 24.5 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.75 people, and 85.2% are family households.
Getting to work takes 51.8 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is carpooled at 75.0% of workers.
Where to stay
Where to stay in Grantsburg, IN
47123 covers a rural area, and accommodation within the postal code itself is likely to be sparse — perhaps a country inn, a lodge or a vacation rental rather than a conventional hotel. Widening the search radius is usually the practical approach, and it also opens up more availability at short notice.
For reference, Chicago, IL is about 255.6 miles away in a straight line, which is worth factoring in if you are comparing a stay here against one closer to the city centre.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 47123 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 47123 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.
For anyone weighing a move, 47123 offers a compact profile of Grantsburg: 168 residents, a median household income of $70,737, 0.0% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 0.0%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.
One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 47123 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Grantsburg may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
