What it’s like
The place. Fremont is a small town in Steuben County, Indiana, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and typical home values are well above what the incomes might suggest. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical trip to work is short. Winters are cold, with January highs near freezing, summers are warm, and snow is a regular part of the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in Fremont are Cardinal IG, Fremont Community Schools and Berry Global - Fremont. Unemployment in Steuben County is a little lower than it was a year earlier, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Pokagon State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, and the Pokagon Nature Center there is a small museum. Lake James is also a short drive away for time on the water. For a longer outing, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum is 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 Fremont’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 Steuben County and the Angola, IN metro.
