Overview
Understanding ZIP code 47982
ZIP code 47982 is assigned to State Line, IN, and falls within Warren 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 98 people live inside it.
At 748 residents per square mile spread over 0.131 square miles, 47982 reads as a small-town 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 run below the national median. At $62,500, 47982 sits in the lower half, ahead of 37% 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.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 47982 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 47982 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, 47982 offers a compact profile of State Line: 98 residents, a median household income of $62,500, 4.2% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 3.4%. 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. 47982 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in State Line 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.
