What it’s like
The place. Rossville is a small town in Clinton County, home to a younger population than most of the country, with a median age well below the national figure. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes here run higher than across the county, with relatively few residents living below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while July brings warm summer days and the year is fairly wet overall.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Clinton County, some of the largest workplaces are Frito Lay, NHK Seating of America and Donaldson Company. Most people commute a moderate distance to work, and only a small number work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Prophetstown State Park, a protected area, and the Tippecanoe River are both a longer drive away. Indiana Beach, an amusement park, is also a longer drive from town. Fort Ouiatenon, a fort, rounds out the nearby historic sites, likewise 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 Rossville’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 Clinton County and the Frankfort, IN metro.
