Benefits of Living in Indiana

So, you're leaving New York and moving to Indiana. You'll be happy to learn that the Hoosier State has a lot to offer. Known as the "Covered Bridge Capital of the World," scenic drives are full of beautiful surprises. Make sure you get your bearings because the state observes two time zones, and there is still debate about which areas belong in the Eastern and which belong in the Central zones.

To help you figure things out, here is a list of important stuff to know about Indiana:

You'll Love the

Low Cost of Living

A cost of living index of 90.1 places Indiana tenth on the list of America’s most affordable states. The low housing index of 76.5 means you’ll get lots of space for your money – definitely more than what you could find in New York, which sits firmly on the list of most expensive states for housing. An average home in Indiana will run approximately $169,156. In terms of tax impact, Indiana’s flat statewide income tax plus sales and property taxes place the state at 34th in the nation; you will notice an improvement in your tax liability compared to New York, which ranks 49th.

Positive Economic Outlook

Indiana is currently ranked 21st in the U.S. for its economic performance over the past decade in the areas of GDP growth, cumulative domestic migration, and non-farm employment growth. More encouraging is the state’s 6th place ranking for economic outlook. Based on fifteen important variables related to state policy, a high ranking shows confidence in the state’s ability to thrive economically in the future.

Get Ready for

Wild Weather

Located in the Midwestern and Great Lakes region of the country with an elevation of 210 meters above sea level with two natural regions: the Central Lowlands and the Interior Low Plateaus. The proximity to Lake Michigan strongly influences the weather, with hot, humid summers and bitterly cold winters. Fall brings mostly sunny weather with comfortable temperatures and low humidity. However, the clash of hot and cold air in the spring season frequently ushers in tornadoes and thunderstorms, so brush up on your safety drills and be sure your insurance is current.

Indiana does have a

Lack of Diversity

Coming from New York, you may be disappointed in the lack of diversity in Indiana. Currently ranked in the bottom 10 states for diversity, Indiana’s total index of 62.70 falls far behind New York’s 69.13. While Indiana has high population density with 181 people per square mile, the 16th most in the country, those people are very homogenous. 72% profess a Christian faith. 83.31% of the state is white, with less than 10% African American, less than 3% Asian, and less than 1% Hispanic, although that population is rapidly growing.

Indiana is an

Agricultural Haven

If you enjoy stopping at roadside stands for fresh produce, you will love living in Indiana, which is known for its abundance of farms. The state’s top agricultural products are corn, soybeans, hogs, dairy products, and chicken eggs. Tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, potatoes, snap beans and sweet corn are also specialties of Indiana farms and are star features at local farm-to-table restaurants. For dessert, look for apple pies, blueberry cobblers, and fresh watermelon, all locally harvested and absolutely scrumptious.

Enjoy

Outdoor Fun

The eight mile Indianapolis Cultural Trail showcases downtown amenities and public art exhibits that can be perused at leisure by foot or bicycle. Adrenaline junkies will flock to White Rock Park in St. Paul, with swimming, cliff diving, ziplining, rope swinging, and even scuba diving! In the winter, check out Paoli Peaks in historic French Lick for some great skiing and snowboarding. Bring the kids to Bicentennial Park in Richmond, Indiana, where little paleontologists can dig through rock piles to uncover the fossils covered by the ocean nearly 500 million years ago. After a good rain, visit Clifty Falls State Park for more fossil hunting, geocaching, swimming, hiking or camping near the park’s 22 waterfalls. All in all, Indiana is home to 24 state parks where you can get out to enjoy nature.

World-Class Attractions

The French Lick Resort includes two four-diamond luxury properties: the French Lick Springs Hotel and West Baden Springs Hotel. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, both of these structures are over a century old and offer activities such as golf, spas, horseback riding, bowling, hiking, and gambling. Other must-see attractions include the Indianapolis Zoo, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Eiteljorg Museum of American Indian and Western Art. No trip to Indiana is complete without a visit to Santa Claus, Indiana and its world-class theme park Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari.

Top-Notch Education

Education is a priority in the Hoosier State, and it shows in the state’s #9 national ranking for Pre-K-12 schools. Students in Indiana excel on the NAEP standardized reading and math tests, ranking 10th and 9th nationally. The state also performs well in the area of college readiness with a rank of 13th nationally, and graduation rate, ranked 14th. Post-secondary education is impressive as well. Indiana is home to three highly competitive, world-class universities: The University of Notre Dame, Purdue University, and Indiana University Bloomington.

Low Crime Rate, Except Drugs

Averaging 3.71 crimes per 1,000 residents, Indiana’s crime rate is below the national median of 4 and New York’s median of 5.31. The state is below the national average for violent crimes in each of the subcategories of murder, rape, robbery and assault and for property crimes in the subcategories of burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft. Unfortunately, the national drug crisis has taken hold in Indiana, with addiction identified as one of the state’s most pressing issues. Opioids have killed over 4,000 residents in the last ten years, and drug overdoses in the state have practically doubled.
