What it’s like
The place. Springport is a very small town in Henry County, Indiana, with few residents and the quiet that comes with that. Household incomes in town sit below the county's, and the typical home is valued well above what those incomes might suggest. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers turn warm by July, and the year brings a fair amount of snow along with plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also common. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and only a small number work from home. Across Henry County, some of the largest workplaces are Henry County Memorial Hospital, Crown Equipment in New Castle and Boar's Head in New Castle. Unemployment in the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier, and the county has added a few more jobs.
Things to do. Summit Lake State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and is the closest place on the list for time outdoors. A longer drive brings you to Mounds State Park, another protected area, and to Minnetrista, a botanical garden. ME's Zoo is also a longer drive away for a day with animals.
