What it’s like
The place. Modoc is a very small town in Randolph County, Indiana, with a population that makes it quieter than most places people think of as towns. Homes here are valued below what is typical across much of the country, and household incomes across the county sit a little below the national picture. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and freezing nights common, while July brings warm days.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also giving many people their living. Across Randolph County, some of the largest workplaces are Ardagh Glass in Winchester, which makes glass packaging containers, and the Union School and Randolph Central School districts. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than it was a year earlier, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. ME's Zoo and Summit Lake State Park are both a short drive away, one a place to see animals and the other a protected area for time outdoors. A longer drive brings you to Mounds State Park, another protected area, and to the Richmond Art Museum for those who enjoy a gallery visit.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Modoc’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 Randolph County and the Richmond, IN metro.
