What it’s like
The place. Connersville is a small city in Fayette County, Indiana, with a median age a little above the national middle. Household incomes here run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than is typical. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values sit in a range that many buyers would find modest. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold while summers are warm.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. The largest workplaces in town include Fayette County School, Walmart and Hydro Connersville, which extrudes aluminum bar. Across Fayette County there were fewer jobs last year than the year before, and the commute is a fairly short one for most people. Few people work from home.
Things to do. Roberts Park is a park in or beside town, handy for a walk or an afternoon outdoors. Whitewater Memorial State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. Hayes Arboretum, a botanical garden, is a longer drive away and suits a slow day out among the plantings.
