Cost of living in Fremont, Indiana

Fremont, Indiana has about 2,112 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $151,500.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Steuben County is $1,102 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Fremont. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

Indiana's prices sit at 93.3 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

Indiana taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 7.0% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Fremont's exact store tax.

Some places in Indiana add a local wage tax. In 2023 the state average was about 0.35% of income. That is not a Fremont bill.

In July 2026, a typical Indiana home paid 16.73¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Fremont's bill.

EIA does not publish a Indiana gasoline price. For the week of October 12, 2026, the Midwest (PADD 2) all-grades price was $4.237 a gallon. At 12,000 miles a year and 25 mpg, the index counts that as $2,033.76 a year. Those miles are our standard, not a Census figure, and every town in Indiana shares this price.
