Greetings from Trump's America: Virtually all-white Vermillion County, Indiana, has been fertile ground for MAGA


% of population 25 and older with bachelor's degree:
  • 17.9% - Vermillion County
  • 28.2% - Indiana
  • 34.3% - U.S.
% of population 65 and older:
  • 20.4% - Vermillion County
  • 17.2% - Indiana
  • 17.3% - U.S.
% of population living in poverty:
  • 14.0% - Vermillion County
  • 12.6% - Indiana
  • 11.5% - U.S. 

From 1988 until 2008, Vermillion County voted for the Democratic presidential candidate 5 out of 6 times.  In 2020, Trump won the county by more  than 40 percentage points.
 
Source:  Wikipedia
3rd-party candidates received 23.2% of vote in 1992, 
16.1% of vote in 1996, 5.4% in 2016;
(Alabama segregationist George Wallace received 
13.7% of the vote in 1968)

The population of Vermillion County is down 44% from its 1920 peak of 27,625.   It now has fewer residents than it did since the early years of the 20th century.






AlterNet, 2/27/2024

Courier & Press, 7/23/2024
Compare that to the biggest percent decline of 44% (12,200 persons) in Vermillion County. Here the population was 27,600 in 1920, over 100 years ago. The annual loss was 122 persons. Is Vermillion in crisis or has it adjusted to its reality? 
To answer that question, dig down to the township level. In Lake County, only three of 11 townships lost population. Calumet Township dropped 118,900 (56%) of it residents, North Township lost 47,400 residents (23%), and Hobart Township was down 1,900 (4%). The other eight townships gained 209,400. 
In Vermillion County, each of the five townships lost population from their respective peaks. Clinton and Vermillion townships each lost more than half of their peak populations. 
Lake County is an example of population shifts resulting from household income growth combined with racial/ethnic bias. Vermillion County is likely the poster child for the loss of an industrial base.
