What it’s like
The place. Saint Paul is a very small Indiana town in Decatur County, the kind of place where residents tend to know one another. Few adults here hold a four-year degree compared with most of the country, and a smaller share of people live below the poverty line than you might expect. A typical home is valued at a modest sum by national standards. Winters are cold, with a little snow, and summers are warm, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in professional and business services. Across Decatur County, some of the largest workplaces are Honda Development & Manufacturing of America, Valeo Greensburg and Greensburg Community Schools. Commutes are fairly long, and very few people work from home. The county has recently lost a few jobs, though unemployment there has stayed low.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Knights of Pythias Building and Theatre is a historic theatre, and Meltzer Woods is a protected area for walking among old trees. For a longer outing, Miller House and Garden is a museum, and Selmier State Forest is a protected area for time outdoors. The Big Blue River 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 Saint Paul’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Decatur County and the Greensburg, IN metro.
