MICROPOLITANS…Every year, the POLICOM Corporation tracks growth in metropolitan and micropolitan areas…an area less than 50,000 but more than 10,000 is a micropolitan…there are 26 micros in Indiana and 543 across the U.S. In 2021 for the 6th straight year, Seymour ranked in the top 100 in the United States for economic strength at 83rd, and earlier this month the 2022 rankings were released…Seymour is now just outside the top 10% in the country with a ranking of 56th. Seymour also ranked No. 1 in population growth among Indiana’s micropolitans.
Twenty-three economic factors are taken into consideration over a 20-year period to gauge improvement and current ranking.
