- Very conservative suburbs
- Largely rural
- White and Protestant, and of German origin
- Not many college towns
- Low minority population

Why is having a large German American community relevant? I’ve heard its early settlement by people from more southern colonies like Virginia has led to IN voting more like a southern state.

Voting Republican is not just analogous with voting like a Southern state, LOL.

Someone on Atlas once said that was a factor in Indiana historically voting differently from Ohio and Illinois, I don't remember who. Maybe they said "conservative" instead of "Republican".
