Buffalo is a tiny town located in the state of Indiana. With a population of 619 people and just one neighborhood, Buffalo is the 382nd largest community in Indiana.
Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Buffalo is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Buffalo is a town of service providers, sales and office workers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Buffalo who work in maintenance occupations (34.08%), office and administrative support (10.62%), and management occupations (10.45%).
Another notable thing is that Buffalo is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Buffalo has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Buffalo has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Buffalo than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Buffalo may be for you.
Buffalo is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
The population of Buffalo has one of the lowest overall levels of education in the country: only 5.66% of people over 25 hold a college degree. The national average for all municipalities is 21.84%.
The per capita income in Buffalo in 2018 was $37,097, which is wealthy relative to Indiana, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $148,388 for a family of four. However, Buffalo contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
The people who call Buffalo home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Buffalo residents report their race to be White. Important ancestries of people in Buffalo include Irish, German, English, Norwegian, and Dutch.
The most common language spoken in Buffalo is English. Other important languages spoken here include Italian and Polish.
