About Universal

Universal is a tiny town located in the state of Indiana. With a population of 432 people and just one neighborhood, Universal is the 387th largest community in Indiana. Much of the housing stock in Universal was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.

Of important note, Universal is also a town of artists. Universal has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Universal's character.

Universal is a very car-oriented town. 100% of residents commute to work in a private automobile rather than by other means, such as public transit, bicycling, or walking. This is because Universal is a small town, and most people who live here have to drive out of town for work, and the town population is not large nor dense enough to support an extensive public transportation system. Universal has a lot of rural roads, and houses can be far apart. Many residents drive out of town for regular shopping trips as well.
