WAYNE COUNTY HAS BOTH POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES IN INDICATOR REPORT
(Wayne County, IN)--The Wayne County Foundation and Forward Wayne County on Wednesday released its County Indicator Report for last year, which provides insight into the county’s economic and social trends. Some of the positive results include the fact that the household poverty rate is down slightly and that the median household income increased by four percent. Some of the not-so-positive results show that Wayne County has the third highest percentage of residents receiving food stamps or SNAP benefits of all the counties in Indiana, and that the county’s per-capita personal income is more than 14% below the state average. The Foundation is now working on gathering input for indicators for this year.
