What it’s like
The place. Clinton is a small city in Vermillion County, Indiana, where a majority of homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes here run well below the county's, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than most would expect to find. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Snowfall is modest, and a fair amount of rain and melted snow falls over the course of a year.
Work. Many residents work in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, and in manufacturing. Union Hospital Clinton and Kirby Foods Clinton are among the largest workplaces in town, along with a nursing home operator. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is a short one, with a number of people working from home.
Things to do. Otter Creek, a river, is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Turkey Run State Park, a protected area known for its trails and woods, and to the Little Vermilion River. The Swope Art Museum is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Clinton’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Vermillion County and the Terre Haute, IN metro.
