What it’s like
The place. Somerville is a very small town in Gibson County, Indiana, with few residents. Homes here are modest in price, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and summers are warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Almost nobody works from home, so most people head out to a job elsewhere. Across Gibson County, the largest workplaces include Toyota Motor Mfg Indiana, Walmart and Duke Energy. Unemployment in the county is about where it was a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up slightly.
Things to do. The Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge and Management Area, a protected area, is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, another protected area, and to USS LST-325, a museum. Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, an amusement park, 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 Somerville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Gibson County.
