What it’s like
The place. Walton is a small Indiana town, home to fewer people than most places that have a name on the map. Household incomes here run below the county's, and a four-year degree is held by fewer adults than you might expect elsewhere. Winters are cold, with January highs hovering around freezing, and summers are warm in July. Snow falls through the winter, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Cass County, some of the largest workplaces are Tyson Fresh Meats, Logansport Community Sch Schools and Memorial Hospital Logansport. Unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before. A small share of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away is the Spencer Park Dentzel Carousel, a tourist attraction, and the Grissom Air Museum, a museum. Pipe Creek, a river, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Indiana Beach is an amusement park and Lake Manitou is a lake, both 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 Walton’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 Cass County and the Logansport, IN metro.
