What it’s like
The place. Hudson is a very small town in Steuben County, in the northeast corner of Indiana. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a typical home here costs less than in many parts of the country. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in the country as a whole, and more residents live below the poverty line than is typical.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Few work from home. Across Steuben County, some of the largest workplaces are Trine University, Cameron Memorial Community Hospital and MSD Steuben County Schools. The county's unemployment rate has eased a little over the past year, though it has had slightly fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Lake James and Pokagon State Park, both a longer drive away, offer water and woodland for those who like to be outdoors. The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, also a longer drive away, is a museum for anyone with an interest in classic cars. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, so outings tend to suit the seasons.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hudson’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.
