What it’s like

The place. Grovertown sits in Starke County in northern Indiana, a place where most homes are lived in by their owners and where residents tend to be older than in many parts of the country. Incomes here run somewhat below the national figure, and more people live below the poverty line than across the country as a whole. The town is not counted on its own, so these measures describe the wider county.

Work. Joblessness is lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs dipped slightly over the past year. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, or in the building trades. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, and the typical commute is longer than in many places, while few people work from home.

Things to do. Within a longer drive, visitors can reach Notre Dame Stadium, a well-known stadium, Lake Maxinkuckee, a lake, and the Studebaker National Museum. Winters are colder and snowier than most of the country, while summers are warm, so the lakes and museums are most inviting in the milder months.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Starke County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Starke County.
