HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Vanderburgh County is $1,127 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Highland. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

In the Evansville, IN metro area, prices sit at 91.5 when the U.S. average is 100. That is a 2024 BEA index.

Indiana taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 7.0% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Highland'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 Highland bill.
