What it’s like
The place. Corydon is a very small city in Henderson County, Kentucky, home to few people and in a quiet part of the state. Residents are of middle age on the whole, and household incomes run a little below the county's. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical home is valued well below what many older homeowners elsewhere would expect.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many also in manufacturing, shops and the building trades. Across Henderson County, the largest workplaces include Tyson Chicken, Henderson County Schools and Deaconess Henderson Hospital. The county has seen slightly fewer jobs than the year before, and unemployment is about where it was a year earlier. The typical commute is moderate, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. The nearest well-known outings are all a longer drive away. John James Audubon State Park is a protected area, the Wabash River is a river to visit, and USS LST-325 is a museum. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are warm, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Corydon’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 Henderson County and the Evansville, IN-KY metro.
