What it’s like
The place. Rosedale is a very small town in Parke County, Indiana, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run below the county's as a whole, and a good number of households live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and some snow, and summers are warm, with July the warmest and a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Parke County, the largest workplaces include the North Central Parke and Southwest Parke school districts and Scott Pet Products, which makes dog and cat food. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many places, commutes tend to be long, and few people work from home. Unemployment across the county has eased a little over the past year, though the county has fewer jobs than it did a year earlier.
Things to do. Otter Creek, a river, is a short drive away. Turkey Run State Park, a protected area, and Cataract Falls, a waterfall, are each a longer drive away, and they suit a day spent outdoors. For something indoors, the Swope Art Museum 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 Rosedale’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 Parke County and the Terre Haute, IN metro.
