What it’s like
The place. Elberfeld is a very small town in Warrick County, Indiana, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes run higher than across the county as a whole, and typical home values sit comfortably above what many small towns see. Winters are cold, with only modest snowfall, summers turn hot, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Across Warrick County, the largest workplaces include Warrick County School, Kaiser Aluminum - Warrick and Deaconess Women's Hospital. Unemployment in the county has eased a little from a year ago, and few people work from home, so most make a commute that runs a bit longer than a short hop across town.
Things to do. For time outdoors, John James Audubon State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and the White River is a river within a longer drive as well. Families can head to Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Garden, also a longer drive away. History-minded visitors can look to the USS LST-325, a museum 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 Elberfeld’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 Warrick County and the Evansville, IN-KY metro.
