What it’s like
The place. Fulton is a very small town in northern Indiana, home to a close-knit community. Household incomes here run below the county's, and typical home values are modest. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July is warm. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, followed by schools, hospitals and social care, shops, and professional and business services. Across Fulton County, some of the largest workplaces are Rochester Metal Products, Woodlawn Hospital and Rochester Community School. Few adults in town hold a four-year degree, and the county has seen slightly fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Lake Manitou and Nyona Lake are both lakes a short drive away. For a longer outing, Tippecanoe River State Park is a protected area with trails and river scenery. Indiana Beach, an amusement park, 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 Fulton’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 Fulton County.
