What it’s like
The place. Bourbon is a small town in Marshall County, Indiana, with a population that skews younger than many small towns. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little above the county's. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Bourbon are Triton School, UPS and Shells, a foundry and manufacturing business. Unemployment across Marshall County is a little lower than a year earlier, and the county has added a small number of jobs.
Things to do. Potawatomi Wildlife Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. Farther afield are lakes such as Lake Maxinkuckee and Lake of the Wood, and Potato Creek State Park, all a longer drive away. Notre Dame Stadium is also a longer drive, for those who like a game day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bourbon’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Marshall County and the Plymouth, IN metro.
