What it’s like
The place. Fillmore is a very small town in Putnam County, Indiana, with a young population: residents are younger than in most American communities. Household incomes run above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than in many places. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute to work is a long one.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Putnam County, some of the largest workplaces are Crown Equipment, which makes industrial lift trucks, Walmart, and DePauw University. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Several of the state's parks are a longer drive away, among them Turkey Run State Park and McCormick's Creek State Park, both protected areas with woods and trails, and Cataract Falls, a waterfall. For racing fans, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, one of the best known race tracks in the country, is also a longer drive away. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and snow fall steadily through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Fillmore’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.

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.
