Tax structure

Common statewide rates

Property and district rates can be local. Each card states the applicable scope.

Property tax

Local rates; 1%–3% capsLocal budgets determine property-tax rates. Circuit-breaker credits generally cap liability at 1% of gross assessed value for homesteads, 2% for other residential property and agricultural land, and 3% for other property; voter-approved charges may be outside the caps.Indiana Department of Local Government Finance: Tax Bill 101

Method, scope, and limitations

FactVote used the State Budget Agency's FY2027 all-sources appropriation total and fund mix from the enacted 2025–2027 Whole Budget Report. The Governor's official bill-watch record supplies the May 6, 2025 signature date. Spending groups combine every published functional category once. Audited tax-source shares and government-wide results come from the FY2025 ACFR.

  • Indiana enacts a two-year budget. The figures shown here are FY2027 annual appropriations, not the total for the full 2025–2027 biennium.
  • The all-sources budget includes federal, dedicated, and local funds as well as the General Fund; it is not a total of State tax dollars alone.
  • County income taxes and local property taxes are outside the primary-government tax-source denominator shown here.
  • Property-tax circuit-breaker caps limit most liability but do not create a single statewide property-tax rate, and voter-approved charges may be exempt from those caps.

Keep in mind
  • Income is not take-home pay and does not directly measure taxes, wealth, prices, or purchasing power.
  • A statewide median obscures regional and household differences.

FactVote sums the 12 monthly state offense rates returned by the FBI Crime Data Explorer for each calendar year. The accompanying coverage value is the mean of the 12 monthly population-coverage percentages returned with the same query.

Keep in mind
  • These are crimes reported to law enforcement, not all crimes that occurred.
  • Indiana's average monthly population coverage was below 90% in every year from 2015 through 2024, ranging from 75.3% to 87.2%. Every point is flagged and should be interpreted as reporting-jurisdiction data, not complete statewide coverage.
  • Reporting systems, agency participation, and later revisions can change the published series.
  • Average monthly population coverage in 2024 was 87.2%; this is not complete statewide reporting.

How it was measured

U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, sourced from the 2024 American Community Survey 1-year estimate.

Keep in mind
  • This is a survey estimate for people under 65 and does not describe coverage type or continuity of coverage.
  • Insurance status alone does not measure affordability, access, quality, or health outcomes.

Public schools, school choice, teachers, and higher education.

EIA generation totals

Coal generation
40,526,000 MWh (rounded)

How it was measured

FactVote divided EIA's 40,526 thousand MWh of 2024 coal generation by 97,012,880 MWh of total in-state net generation and rounded the result to one decimal place.

Keep in mind
  • EIA publishes the coal numerator in thousand MWh, so the displayed numerator is converted to MWh and remains rounded to the nearest thousand MWh.
  • In-state generation is not the same as electricity consumed in Indiana because power crosses state lines.

How it was measured

U.S. Energy Information Administration weekly retail motor-gasoline survey estimate for the Midwest region. FactVote displays the published dollars-per-gallon value and calculates changes from EIA's published prior-week and nearest year-earlier weekly observations.

Keep in mind
  • EIA does not publish a current Indiana statewide weekly gasoline-price series; this Midwest regional estimate should not be read as Indiana's statewide average.
  • The regional estimate combines Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, and does not represent the price at every station or in every Indiana community.
  • This nominal weekly snapshot does not identify why prices changed or establish the effect of any tax, bill, executive action, or market event.

  • The primary and general elections occurred in different cycles, used different registration totals, and offered different ballot choices.
  • Rounded turnout does not by itself measure election access, administration quality, confidence, or policy effects.

How it was measured

The Indiana Department of Health compiles individual terminated-pregnancy reports submitted by facilities and physicians and publishes an annual statewide report.

Keep in mind
  • The count covers procedures reported as performed in Indiana and does not count Indiana residents who received care in another state.
  • Later amendments are not reflected in the annual extract, and the total does not establish the effect of a law or candidate position.
