Hancock County offers a rich heritage founded on industrious beginnings which have created a diverse community with a unique blend of historic charm and modern convenience. And the future looks even brighter with new developments and the continued restoration of historic landmarks.

 

Population growth has been steady thanks in part to its close proximity to Indianapolis immediately to the west and continued development within its communities.  Hancock County ranks above the national average in per capita income at $24,966, with average household income at $56,416.

 

Home prices are attractive to newcomers, with the current average sales price as of 2006 at $149,928 (per the Landrigan & Company report). Modest appreciation rates in recent years have increased prices at a rate above the normal appreciation rate for the Indianapolis metro area.
