What stands out in Vigo County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Vigo County with communities in Indiana or of similar population size. Surprises are where the measured figure was unusually far from what Polco's model expected. Each fact gives its year; public data runs one to two years behind.

In 2024, Vigo County was less favorable than communities of similar population size on median household income.
