Indiana elsewhere on the Factbook

• Reported crime Crime and justice

  Offenses reported to police by type, the trend, and the reporting coverage.

• Cities by violent crime rate in Indiana Crime and justice

  What each agency serving 25,000 or more reported, ranked. Agency populations overlap, so these do not add up to the state.

• Prison population Crime and justice

  People held under the state’s correctional authority, and the imprisonment rate. A different publisher counting a different thing.

• Arrests by race, sex and age Crime and justice

  Arrests as the FBI’s participating agencies reported them, with what the figures can and cannot support at the top.

• Hate crime Crime and justice

  Incidents reported to the FBI by bias motivation, as counts — the collection publishes no participation share, so there is no rate to compare states on.

• Federal obligations Federal spending

  What federal agencies obligated against a place of performance in the state, per resident and by agency.

• Registered nonprofits Nonprofits

  How many organizations the IRS lists in the state, what they report as revenue, and which kinds of work they do.

  What drug and device companies reported paying doctors with a practice address in the state, and the largest recipients.

• Immigration courts Immigration and the border

  The EOIR courts sitting in the state, what they completed and still have pending, and how far apart their asylum grant rates are. The courts, not the state’s residents: a detention court hears cases from far outside it.

• Farm program payments Farm subsidies

  What the Farm Service Agency paid through the state’s county offices, by program and by recipient. The offices that administered the payments, not a count of farms: a recipient addressed elsewhere is counted where they were paid.

• Paycheck Protection Program loans PPP loans

  The PPP loans SBA guaranteed to businesses operating in the state, by county, with how many carry a forgiveness amount and how many were charged off. Loans, not businesses: a business with two draws is two loans.

• Population, age, income and origin Demographics

  The Census Bureau's population estimates year by year, with births, deaths and migration, and age, income, poverty, housing and origin from the American Community Survey, each with its margin of error.

  Substance use and mental health treatment listings in the state, as SAMHSA’s directories print them: not a license, a rating or a recommendation.

• Health centers Health centers

  Community health center sites in the state, from HRSA’s Data Warehouse, by county and by the organization that runs them: no rating and no recommendation.

• Pandemic relief Pandemic relief

  COVID-19 relief obligated to the state’s government, from PRAC’s state workbook, by awarding agency: not every award made in the state, and no PPP loan.

• County health County health

  CDC’s model-based estimates of adult health, risk behaviors and prevention for every county in the state, each with its 95% interval.

• H-1B salaries H-1B salaries

  The offered wages on H-1B applications the Department of Labor certified with a first worksite in the state, by occupation, each median with the count behind it.

The immigration link above is EOIR’s courts, which sit in this state. CBP’s encounters are not by state and will not be: its sectors and field offices are areas of responsibility rather than a geography, and assigning them to states would be a claim the data does not make. Immigration and the border.
