How we determined the most conservative cities in Indiana for 2024

To find the most conservative places in Indiana, we used Saturday Night Science – the argument you’d make at a bar – to find the cities with the most conservatives.

We started by making a list of every city in Indiana over 5,000 people based on the 2018-2022 American Community Survey. That left us with 124 cities and towns.

We then measured the voting record and MIT election data to determine which places rock the most rightward in their allegiances by:

  1. Percentage Of Votes For The Republican President In 2020

Because no voting data exists at the city level, we used county-level election results from the 2020 election. We assigned every city in a county the percentage of votes that went to the Republicans, effectively extending the county’s results to the city level. In cases where larger cities encompassed an entire county, the election outcomes accurately reflected the city’s political landscape.

Next, we ranked each city from 1 to 124 for each criterion, where number one was the most conservative.

The winner, Batesville, is “The Most Conservative City in Indiana For 2024”. The most liberal place in Indiana was Beech Grove.

We updated this article for 2024. This report is our tenth time ranking the most conservative places to live in Indiana.
