What it’s like
The place. Tippecanoe is a small community in Marshall County, in northern Indiana. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year, so the seasons are easy to read from the weather.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, or in professional and business services. Unemployment has eased over the past year, and the county added a few more jobs in its most recent year. Most households in the county earn a steady income, and the town's residents keep close ties to the jobs around them.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Marshall County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low.

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 Marshall County and the Plymouth, IN metro.
