What it’s like
The place. Jasper is a city in Dubois County, in southern Indiana, where most homes are lived in by their owners and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Incomes in the city run below the county's, and the typical home costs more than many older homeowners might expect for a place this size. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Manufacturing is the biggest line of work for residents, followed by schools, hospitals and social care, then shops and professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Jasper are MasterBrand Cabinets, Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center, and Kimball Electronics. Commutes are short, and unemployment in the county is low and little changed from a year earlier, though the number of jobs across the county slipped slightly last year.
Things to do. League Stadium, a stadium, and Mudhole Branch, a river, are both a short drive away. For a longer outing, Holiday World & Splashin' Safari is an amusement park, and Patoka Lake is a reservoir good for a day by the water. Hoosier National Forest, a protected area, 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 Jasper’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 Dubois County and the Jasper, IN metro.
